The beggining of the valley, looking back towards Salento:

A local finca where we stopped to ask directions at one of several unmarked splits in the trail. Notice the trail on the bottom right.

A Wax palm towering over our trail. IT may look like a muddy stream, and that is because it basically was!

Enjoying the vistas in the mountain sunlight! A special shout out to Wellington boots.

But even with the waders, the mud proved to be a worthy adversary as Matty found out early on in our hike, loosing his entire wader to the sludge and have to rescue it before it dissapeared.
