Lost between falls

No plans at all, so I start a small hike to discover a yet unmapped path to some allegedly well-mapped waterfalls "just 500 m off the gravel road". Stupid. Already in the beginning of the hike I get a nice view on some other, very distant, very high and very beautiful falls. Thanks to today's curiosity I end up hiking the whole day through farm land and thick forests up the whole mountain ridge because the initially focussed falls are apparently badly mapped, undiscoverable and these distant ones offer a much higher reward. I never reach but instead end up high above these distant falls. Seven weeks in the car, 35 °C, no chocolate and I feel like climbing the Picco Humboldt in Venezuela :-DRead more
