Tarzan

Last week we went on an incredible canyon walk near Manizales. What is supposed to be a 5 hour walk became a 7 hour walk when our car had to drop us off early because the road had collapsed (the trail we are on in the photo at the left was once a road). You have to be flexible with these things here in Colombia!

Two hours into our trek, we reached the official starting point hot and sweaty, but it was well worth it when we finally made it to the canyon and got our feet in the water that runs down it. A heavy winter (which means rainy season) has turned the otherwise crystal-clear stream a bit foggy with sand, but it was beautiful and cool and that was all we needed!
