Rafting in the Chili River


I really wanted to climb El Misti today, the large volcano near the city..it stands 5800 and something metres...but unfortunately there wasn't enough people, so will get to it tomorrow. To pass the time today, decided to do a little rafting, and I wasn't disappointed. I have done rafting in the Zambezi and Rotorua in New Zealand..they were both special for different reasons...Zambezi, what can you say...and Rotorua had a 7m rapid which was rather special. This wasn't too technical, but the scenery was amazing...there were water falls coming down at various intervals and there was a couple of grade 3/4 rapids.
Besides this didn't really do much, met a couple of cool German brothers on the trip, so hung out with them for most of the arvo.
Anyway, I have booked in the Volcano tomorrow, so that should be pretty interesting. After 5000m things can get pretty interesting, but I will be decked out with all the stuff, so should be fine.
