January '08 - South America: Puerto Montt, Chile

Sign at the entrance to the path to the Petrohue Falls. While the Spanish word "saltos" translates to "jumps", it conjunction with a name, in this case Rio Petrohue, it translates to "falls". Perhaps somewhere in the latin heritage, they thought rivers ran upstream, or perhaps it is called jumps because that's how fish get upstream! Go figure!
