Hiking in Choachin

---

Some photos of another weekend day-trip to the mountains, this time around a village about one hour to the east of Bogotá. I managed to convince a few others to come with this time, which is a good thing seeing as James (who came with me last time) is out of action for the foreseeable future having had surgery to fix a twisted knee!

The weather wasn't as good as last time, I think we were still a little close to Bogotá so got largely the same weather. However, it was a beautiful place for sure and we followed a narrow path through over-grown semi-jungle to get to some pretty spectacular waterfalls. Along the way we got some great fews of the sheer cliff face opposite us appearing and disappearing in seconds as the mist came and went - pretty epic, hollywood sort of scenery! Hard to get accross in the photos though, but I've done my best below.

The bright orange flowers of this tree contain a drug which makes people completely incapable, and extremely impressionable. It's been used in the past as a truth serum, and is put to good use today by Colombia's local muggers...!
