English?

http://www.huellasandinas.com/primer1.html

Dan: I offered my translation services to this hostel a few months ago. It appears that they haven't changed their website yet. Maybe I'll bring them my business card again. These are the pitfalls of using only a translation program and not a human native speaker. Check out some of the interesting things on the menu if you go on one of their excursions. The scariest part is what's for breakfast if you go "Trekking in Villavicencio"

What do you know¿ They must have taken Dan´s advise (for free). It used to say:cereals,kill,you, etc. I´ve yet to have salty milk here, but we may have itched of cheeses a few times. lou

What is a complete back sandwich? Does it come marinated en su loma?
Do you eat that the night that they have YOU for breakfast? I'm terrified of that place!

Thanks for the mistranslated web site, it had me in tears. They seem big into cannibalism on those hiking activities, and hiking between artillery battalions, eating itched varied and pricked just doesnt sound very safe.

What is pricked anyway?

I think itched must have been ´picado´, something in small pieces. in this case cheese. I think another translation of picado or picadas might be ´pricked´.

Complete back sandwich is a steak sandwich. The word ¨completo¨here generally means is has the works on it, including a fried egg.

Artillery batallions? No clue.
