One morning before breakfast we practiced how to absail at the climbing wall in our camp! Straight after some arepas (typical dish with mais) we drove with the jeep to a waterfall nearby the city santa fe. The waterfall was about 30meters high. There we started one after each other from the top with the absailing! It was great seing from the top how the water falls down vertical next to you! In the beginning it was quite hard, cause the rock was slippery and it needed a lot of strength to move the robe cause it was pulled down by the water. But once you get used to it it was marvellous! The feeling of hanging only on a robe in a waterfall in the plane nature was wonderful! Our guide said that it has more water as usually, cause it rained so hard the last couple days. So more ore less in the middle of it we had to jump over the water cause the force of the falling water got too strong after that spot! Luckily everyone was able to land on the other side and not in the middle of it! Once more i was filled with a feeling mixed by excitement, kind of fear, adrenalin and just happyness!
