Waterfall Hike

These are some pictures of the hike I went on last weekend. One of the local teachers from my school took a group of six of us on this hike. We were in the hills above Medellin. We hiked for several hours following a creek up the mountain to a waterfall. We crossed the creek several times. It was wet and slippery and very beautiful. The area on the top of the mountain was one of the many places that Pablo Escobar lived. The guy that took us on the hike has lived here all of his life. He had some interesting and sad stories about what it was like to live here in the 80's and 90's. Ask me if you want to hear more about of what I am learning of the recent history of this area. Anyway, the hike was wonderful!!!! I hope you are enjoying the pixs!
