Day 7 & 8 (Continued): Pacuare Outdoor Center

Hello, It’s Gigi and Harper for today’s blog! Yesterday we had an early start to our day and left at 8 to start heading towards our rafting location, Tres Equis. After a 3 hour drive and a bathroom break at a local supermarket we finally had arrived. We said goodbye to Eddy and loaded into a tractor trailer where it took us down to the river. 

After a long safety lesson we boarded the boats and started toward our cabin that we will be staying at for the next two nights. During the rafting experience we got soaking wet but reluctantly we were able to stop at a swimming hole with a natural slide and ate a delicious lunch. We only had 10 or more minutes left before we arrived at the lodge but right before arriving one of the boats flipped which contained Meghan, Emilia, Arthur, Asher, and Mr. Thomas. After some rescuing from the other two boats we safely made it for dinner. 

Today, with much needed beauty sleep we woke up to the sun and decided to head down to the common area in a pavilion. After a yummy breakfast of banana pancakes and fruit we headed over to the Tarzan Swing. Hearts were beating and hands were shaking but most of us did it and had so much fun!

 

After this we took a break and ate lunch, which was salad, rice, beans, and beef stew. Once we were done with lunch we had about 1 1/2 hours until some of us went on a short hike to a waterfall and swimming pool. At the swimming pool we jumped off of rocks and climbed through the waterfall to jump off of it.  

When we came back we had a delicious snack and dinner made by our amazing guides. For the rest of the evening we played mafia, telephone, and some card games.
