"oh its just a 20 minute walk"



The other day, Jenny, Daniel (Jenny’s host brother) and I went hiking to a beautiful waterfall in the Botanical Garden very close to our neighborhood.



Now, when I say “hiking,” let me just give you a glimpse of what I mean: rock climbing barefoot in a bikini while dodging fire ants and scaling inclines by climbing up tree roots.



So. Freakin. Awesome. The pay off was great too! After a “20 minute walk” aka: hour intense hike, we got to a secluded waterfall with crystal clear and crisp water where we cooled off and continued to hike higher to another part of the waterfall. We were deep in a jungle, yet still in the middle of one of the biggest cities in South America!
