Trekking to the Juan Curi waterfall

The local bus dropped us off just outside the entrance of the Parque Ecologico Juan Curi at around 10:30 am. Here, our contact person was waiting for us. There was a big group of 7-8 people wearing the rappelling harnesses. This was a group of Germans who had come with their own guide and helpers. They were supposed to go before us, so as soon as they were ready, they left. In our group it was just the 3 of us and there were 2 more who were supposed to join us but hadn't reached till then. We signed the waiver forms and then started the trek towards the waterfall. Our guide came with us for a while to show us the path that we needed to take to go towards the top of the waterfall and then went back to wait for the other 2 members who could come any time now. The path was through some dense undergrowth and almost felt like walking through a jungle. It was quite hot and humid and the steep gradient to the top of the waterfall was a bit of a task.Read more
