Wanting to brake a bit the routine of my travel, I've decided to do some activities with more adrenaline.
One such thing was a 3 days rafting in the Apurimac river, which was almost all about adrenaline and fun. It's really hard to describe the force of a strong river like Apurimac. Only there you can understand how powerful the currents can be. Sometimes the river does with you whatever it wants, and all the guide can do is to try and predict its behavior.

Than of course followed the bungee jump and a superman, which is basically a reversed bungee - you're being pooled by a rope in an angle upwards, so it feels for a few moments as if you're flying almost horizontally. Both of them were great fun, but short.

For conclusion I also did paragliding, which was OK but not as good as I have expected it to be.
