When the Codihue Comes Alive
It was late March in the highlands of Northern Patagonia, the kind of afternoon that seems to belong only to this corner of the world. The Codihue River lay calm, sunlight spilling across its clear runs, willows trailing in the current, and a great boulder casting a long shadow over the main pool.
