Cumandá

This morning we woke up early to go white water rafting. We drove out to the river which was at the edge of the Andes Mountains. We then boarded our boat and had a brief training session with our guide (who was hilarious and kept joking that this was his first time on the raft just like us)! We then set off in the water and wow what an adventure. It was one of the most fun things I have ever done. We were completely surrounded by the most beautiful view that started in the Andes and ended in the Amazon. We saw waterfalls, birds, and many more things along the way. The rapids themselves were pretty epic and we got completely soaked. We also got to jump out and swim in the water briefly then took turns pulling each other back up. There were two boats and ours was the fun boat and we were laughing and chatting and cheering the entire time. Overall it was such an epic adventure. (Note: I am waiting for the photos to be emailed to me from the tour agency so I will add them when they arrive!)

Once we finished rafting we headed home and took the afternoon to relax. We spent lots of time on the hammocks and we went to Aromi for hot chocolate and fondue. Best hot chocolate ever. We finished the night with Arepas for dinner (I am obsessed). Overall, an amazing day.Read more
