san gil

Tommy, Brittany, Christian and I took a quick trip to San Gil and it was awesome! San Gil is the adventure sport capital of Colombia and it really lives up to its reputation. We left at 230 on Sunday in a bus and arrived around 10pm. It was a long bus trip but totally worth it. Monday morning we were up early for white water rafting. We went down a level 4 river and had a great guide. We even jumped in the water and let the current take us for a little while.

Later that day we went paragliding. It was incredible! The company picked us up in a bus and we went up a mountain. We strapped into our backpacks with our guide and before we knew it we were up in the air. It was such a cool experience and a we had a great view of san gil, santander, colombia.

Tuesday morning we went rappelling down Juan Curi waterfall. Out of the three adventure sports, this one was by far the most intimidating. First we had to hike up the mountain to reach the waterfall. Tommy went over the edge first and I was second. It was great because we were able to rappel down right next to each other. The water was beating down on our helmets and our feet were slipping all over the place as we descended. It was exhilarating and so much fun.

Our trip to San Gil was such a great adventure. It was nice to get out of the city for a couple of days and have some fun with Christian. I am so glad we made the trip and still can't believe we all made it down that waterfall!

Love, Kate
