Since one of our professors is out of town for the week, two of my friends at the institute, Natasha and Jacqueline, and I didn't have any classes yesterday. Thus, we decided to embark on an epic horseback adventure to the beautiful San Luis waterfall. Little did we know that our adventure would include an hour and half long trek on horseback down the steepest road in the world and a 45-minute hike up the steepest trail in the world just to reach the waterfall. However, despite the intensity of the trip, and our extreme soreness today, I think we are all in agreement that it was worth it. I wish that these pictures did more justice to the beauty of this place than they do.
Mostly, I wish you all could have experienced it with me. ¡Pura vida!

Me, Jacqueline, and the most loyal dog in the world,
Papí, in front of the waterfall. Papí goes with us everywhere.
He is the real-life version of the dog in Homeward Bound.

Jacqueline and Natasha swam in the freezing cold water at the
base of the waterfall. Son chicas locas. |
 |
| My noble steed, Pasia, looking rather annoying that she just had to trek up a giant mountain with me on her back. Lo siento, Pasia, lo siento. |
 |
We crossed a series of terrifying plank bridges during
our hike to the waterfall. Not a fan. |
 |
| Baby waterfall along the hike. |
 |
| A dry waterfall along the hike that probably only runs in the rainy season. |
 |
| Our first view of the lower half of the waterfall. |
 |
| I really, realllyyy wish the mist didn;t obsure the full view of the falls. They were about 30-40 stories high in totality. |
 |
| However, the reflection of the sun on the mist was really beautiful. |
