Valley exploring & rock climbing

Noah and I were excited to explore the valley. We saw loads of tortoises, lizards, butterflies and interesting flowers and seed pods. The sounds of the birds and other creatures echoeing through the valley were amazing. Our walk started off relatively easy, and then got increasingly more difficult the higher we climbed. It was a little nerve wracking pulling and relying on knotted ropes, and climbing on metal bars which weren't always 100% secure. My adrenaline was definatley pumping. In the past, hikers would come down from the top of the valley, however the terrain and rock falls are hectic, and there have been many fatalities, so the trail from the top is now closed. Our boat was departing in the afternoon, so we had to rush back to meet it. I loved the tranquility of Butterfly Valley, and was especially grateful to be there out of season, feeling like one of Peter Pans lost boys in Neverland. 🌈Read more
