Tuesday I did one of the coolest things I've ever done. A group of us went rappelling down waterfalls. I can't even describe it. The scenery was absolutely perfect. The guide said we went down 20, 30, and 40 meter falls. There was also a small ten meter one. The hardest part for me was convincing myself to lean back and let my weight carry me down. It was mentally hard to allow myself to just walk backwards down a cliff. We rappelled down this one waterfall into a canyon where we walked most of the time. I couldn't believe how big everything was. I'm pretty sure the canyons were created by lava flows. I don't even want to talk about it because there is no way I could do it any justice.
Tuesday night we all had a barbecue at the hostel. It was a really cool moment. Everyone was talking and laughing and just really happy in general. We were like a family.
Wednesday a girl and I went horseback riding. It was so fun. It was just the two of us plus the guide. We rode up down the street and up a mountain to this forest where we hiked down a steep path which led to a waterfall that had to be 100 feet high. It was so perfect. We splashed around in the water and walked around on the rocks for awhile. The ride back was really peaceful and we both agreed that horseback riding is really good for thinking.
Wednesday night we left Pucon and took the 10 hour bus ride back to Santiago.
