Off to Juan Curi waterfall for abseiling

Our last day in San Gil started at the same time as the other days. We were up and had our breakfast by 9 am. We were supposed to reach Jaun Curi some 25 kms South of San Gil ourselves by the local bus where the local representative of our operator would be waiting for us at around 10 am. The local bus stop was just one block away from our hostel so we walked over but unfortunately, the 9:30 am bus in that direction had just left and the next one was at 9:45 am. We got on to that bus and started our journey South.
This part of the town had many chicken shops where there were butchering the chickens just before preparing them for the meals being served in these chicken farms cum restaurants.
Just outside of the town, there were many trees with the "Old Man's Beard" or Usnea lichens hanging from them. There were also the flame orange colored flowers of the Red Silk Cotton trees also known as Bombax Ceiba. This direction from San Gil seemed much more wilder than the other directions we had been earlier.Read more
