Discovering the city of Balcarce in person turned out to be a great idea because the element of surprise always makes the experience even more special. When I decided to join a trekking trip with a group of strangers to the interior of Buenos Aires Province, I expected to have a good time, and fortunately, it exceeded my expectations from the very beginning. We had planned a three-day getaway, and on the very first day, shortly after arriving, we headed out for a short hike that rewarded us with a beautiful sunset from the top of Sierra La Barrosa 😃.
Haber descubierto la ciudad de Balcarce in situ fue una gran idea porque el factor sorpresa siempre tiene más impacto. Cuando decidí ir de viaje de trekking con unos desconocidos hasta el interior de Buenos Aires, esperaba pasarla bien, y afortunadamente esto superó mis expectativas desde el primer momento. Teníamos planeado una escapada de tres días, y en el primero que llegamos, ya salimos a caminar un poco para encontrarnos con un atardecer hermoso en lo alto de la Sierra La Barrosa 😃.

This group came together thanks to the organization of a hiking leader named Guillermo, who coordinated everything we needed to make the trip. After traveling 385 km south of the City of Buenos Aires, we arrived at this small yet beautiful city. Buenos Aires Province is mostly flat, but you can still find a few hills like these scattered throughout the region. Even though they aren't as high as other mountain ranges I've visited, they're still a lot of fun for short hiking trips like this one.
Este grupo surgió gracias a la organización de un guía llamado Guillermo, quien se encargó de coordinar todo lo necesario para que pudiéramos ir hasta allá. Después de viajar 385 km hacia el sur de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, nos encontramos con esta otra ciudad pequeña pero hermosa. La provincia de Buenos Aires es principalmente plana, pero igualmente se pueden encontrar algunas elevaciones como estas. A pesar de que no son tan altas como otras formaciones montañosas que haya visto, igualmente siguen siendo divertidas para este tipo de paseos express.





The hiking group I found online is made up mostly of people who are experiencing the mountains for the first time. That's why the hike our organizer chose felt quite easy compared to the ones I've done before, but I still had a great time. Discovering a new place is something I always enjoy, and the city of Balcarce was perfect for that. What made this particular mountain especially interesting was that the urban area lies on one side, while a large racetrack stretches out on the other. After a climb of about 20 minutes, we were already walking along the ridgeline, enjoying the views on both sides.
Este grupo de trekking que encontré en internet está conformado principalmente por gente que es su primera vez en la montaña. Es por eso que la caminata que propuso el guía me pareció sencilla en comparación a las cosas que he hecho antes, pero igualmente me divertí. Descubrir un nuevo lugar es algo que me gusta hacer, y la ciudad de Balcarce se prestó muy bien para eso. En particular, esta sierra tenía la característica de alojar el centro urbano de un lado y del otro a un gran autódromo. Con una subida de unos 20 minutos, ya nos fue posible caminar por el filo de ella y ver a ambos lados.




Since we started this hike after spending the afternoon by the pool, we headed up a bit later than usual, but that gave us the chance to enjoy the sunset in its entirety. In the distance, the flat landscape created the perfect setting for the sun to disappear below the horizon, while on the opposite side, the sky gradually filled with shades of orange, pink, and light blue. The sunset was an incredible spectacle for all of us, and I simply couldn't take my eyes off it. The weather was perfect for enjoying the view from up there, and we arrived at exactly the right moment. It couldn't have been any better.
Como esta caminata la hicimos después de una tarde de pileta, subimos algo tarde pero eso nos permitió ver por completo la puesta de sol. A lo lejos, la planicie creó el escenario perfecto para que el sol se ocultara, mientras que del otro lado, el cielo se iba tiñendo de colores naranja, rosado y celeste. Este atardecer fue todo un espectáculo para nosotros, y yo no podía dejar de mirarlo. El clima era perfecto para verlo desde ahí, y llegamos a la hora justa. No podría haber sido mejor.





As the sun slowly disappeared below the horizon, it was also time for us to begin our descent. This mountain wasn't very large, so we were able to walk along almost its entire ridgeline. Although the terrain wasn't particularly challenging, it was still fun to make our way across the large rocks and uneven sections of the trail. Since most of the people in the group had very little hiking experience, I enjoyed keeping them company and encouraging them not to be afraid of the heights. Of course, night fell while we were making our way down, but even that turned into a great opportunity because I finally got to use the headlamp that Fernando, a friend from Spain whom I met in Ushuaia last summer, had given me. Thanks, Fernando!
A medida que iba bajando el sol, también teníamos que ir emprendiendo nuestro regreso. Esta sierra no era muy grande, así que pudimos caminar su filo casi de punta a punta. Si bien el terreno no era muy complicado, igualmente resultó interesante pasar por todas esas grandes piedras y desniveles. Como la mayoría de la gente del grupo no tenía mucha experiencia en trekking, fue divertido acompañarlos y darles ánimo para que no teman a las alturas. Por supuesto que nos agarró la noche en medio de la bajada, pero hasta esta fue una buena oportunidad porque pude estrenar la linterna minera que me regaló Fernando, un amigo de España que había hecho en Ushuaia el verano pasado. ¡Gracias Fernando!






Visiting Sierra La Barrosa with a sunset hike followed by a night trek was an amazing experience. I enjoy sharing outdoor activities with other people, and this was one of those truly memorable afternoons. Despite the age difference within the group (almost everyone was over 45), I think I blended in well and it hardly felt noticeable. One of the participants even asked me why I didn't go hiking with younger people, but I told her that I really liked the vibe of this group. Maybe that was exactly what I needed: to slow down a little and take the time to stop every now and then to appreciate everything around me ❤️.
Visitar La Sierra La Barrosa con atardecer y trekking nocturno incluido fue muy divertido. Me gusta compartir actividades con gente y esta fue una de esas tardes geniales. A pesar de la diferencia de edad del grupo (todos eran +45), creo que logré integrarme bien y que esto no se notara. Incluso una de las asistentes preguntó por qué no hacía trekking con gente más joven, pero yo le dije que me gustaba la vibra de ese grupo. Quizás eso era lo que necesitaba: ir un poco más despacio para poder detenerme por momentos a observar mejor todo lo que me rodeaba ❤️.

STOP#bilpcoin truth # The Ledger’s Indictment: On the Futility of Denying the Digital Shadow
The Impossibility of the Invisible Lie
How can you deny the truth when the truth is not a matter of opinion, but of record?
In the physical world, a man might lie about his whereabouts, hoping that no one saw him enter the building. But on a blockchain, there are no blind spots. There are no unwatched corners. Every action leaves a footprint that cannot be washed away by rain or time. To deny what you have done is to deny the very architecture of reality you inhabit. It is to stand before a mirror and insist that the reflection is a hallucination.
You say you care. You say you curate. You say you build.
But the ledger says otherwise. And the ledger does not lie.
The Rhythm of the Machine
Look at the data. Look at the cold, mechanical precision of @buildawhale.
This is not human curation. This is not the thoughtful selection of quality content by a community member. This is a script. This is a bot. This is a machine designed to extract value with the relentless efficiency of a mining rig. It votes in lockstep, in perfect intervals, harvesting curation rewards like clockwork.
These are not rewards for insight. They are dividends from a concentrated pool of power, delegated largely by @blocktrades, used to farm the network’s inflation while preaching decentralization to the masses.
The Web of Influence
And look at @themarkymark.
A central node in this web. A witness. A promoter. A voice that claims to guide the community. Yet, observe the alignment. The coordinated support. The mutual reinforcement. You downvote people who question the system, labeling them "spammers" or "trolls," while you and your allied accounts farm Hive through automated voting rings.
You work for the interests of the centralized exchanges and the whale cartels, yet you present yourself as a guardian of the independent creator. It is a performance of such breathtaking hypocrisy that it would be impressive if it were not so destructive.
The Harm Done
You downvote people away.
You crush the voices of newcomers. You silence the critics. You make the platform unsafe for anyone who does not bow to the hierarchy. And in doing so, you are not protecting Hive. You are killing it. You are draining the lifeblood of creativity and replacing it with the sterile, automated pulse of extraction.
Users are leaving. Trust is evaporating. The price is bleeding out. And you wonder why?
It is because they see the machine. They see the bots. They see the whales farming while the creators starve. They see the truth, etched in stone, and they know that your words are just wind.
The Final Word
Stop denying it.
The data is here. The timestamps are here. The voting patterns are here. You cannot argue with arithmetic. You cannot debate a hash.
You are exposed. Not by rumor, but by record. Not by enemies, but by your own actions.
At Bilpcoin, we do not create the truth. We simply refuse to look away from it. We expose the farming. We name the cartels. We show the world what is happening behind the curtain.
And the world is watching.
For in the end, you can hide behind a username, but you cannot hide behind the blockchain. The ledger remembers. And it is waiting for you to stop lying.
#TruthUnsilenced #HiveTransparency #BuildawhaleExposed #BlurtRising #Bilpcoin
At Bilpcoin, we do not fight for attention. We fight for accountability.
Exposing the automated farming and coordinated downvoting of Hive’s top whales. Analyzing the blockchain data of @buildawhale and @themarkymark to reveal the truth behind the "curation" myth. Why users are leaving Hive for the freedom of Blurt.blog.
Hive whale farming exposed, @buildawhale bot voting, @themarkymark downvote abuse, blockchain transparency, Bilpcoin investigation, Hive user exodus, Blurt.blog freedom, crypto cartel exposure
How can you deny the truth when it’s voted 100% by a bot every few minutes? @buildawhale and @themarkymark are farming Hive while downvoting real users. The ledger doesn’t lie. Stop the denial. #TruthUnsilenced #HiveTransparency

Such a beautiful sunset and an amazing view over Balcarce. The hike looks peaceful and truly worth it. 😊
Excelente las fotografías de esta nueva aventura, lo importante de hacer trekking es disfrutar del paisaje y también de la compañía de las personas para disfrutar todos juntos, para tener una experiencia grata, saludos.
Sin dudas, ver una puesta de sol desde la cima de una sierra debe ser una experiencia única e inigualable. Qué genial que hayas hecho este paseo y visitar la sierra La Borrosa.
Desconocía que la ciudad de Balcarce fuera tan hermosa y que tuvieras estas preciosas sierras para hacer senderismo. Y disfrutar del paisaje visto desde otro ángulo de la ciudad.
Qué hermosa experiencia de senderismo. Genial que hayas conocido a este grupo de personas a las que les encanta hacer estas cosas al aire libre. Preciosas tomas, especialmente las nocturnas y las de las coloridas puestas de sol.
Un abrazo grande, querida amiga @lauramica, para ti y todos tus seres queridos.
Without a doubt, watching the sunset from a mountaintop must be a unique and unforgettable experience. How wonderful that you took this trip and visited the La Borrosa mountain range.
I didn't know that the city of Balcarce was so beautiful and that it had these gorgeous mountains for hiking. And enjoying the scenery from a different perspective of the city.
What a beautiful hiking experience! It's great that you met this group of people who love doing these kinds of things outdoors. Beautiful photos, especially the nighttime shots and the colorful sunsets.
A big hug, dear friend @lauramica, to you and all your loved ones.
