Splash, boom, bang....

The rafting lasted almost 2 hours through some really big rapids. One of them was a class 5 rapid. It was a lot of fun going through it. We all managed to remain in the boat most of the time. Towards the end of the stretch, the water current eased down and we all jumped into the water to swim and have some fun in the water. Around 1 pm, we came out of the water some 10 kms downstream on the Rio Suarez. Our van had already reached there and the helpers had laid out a table of food and fruits for us. We had our lunch there and then around 3 pm we started back towards San Gil.
We reached back at San Gil around 5 pm. We spent the evening walking the 2.5 kms to the bus terminal outside of town to find out about the buses to Bogota and then 2.5 kms back to the town. We realized that there were quite many buses leaving to Bogota. There were buses every hour and many hours, there were more than one from all the operators. We decided not to pre-book the ticket and to buy it when we reached the bus terminal next day evening.
We came back to town and had our dinner at the main square again and then turned in early to sleep a bit longer.Read more
