So this is my last photo from the ‘Ciudad Perdida’ trek, the rain kept coming down hard and the rivers swelled even more making the crossings harder and harder.

My camera broke (Canon G10) very dissapointed, I’ve only had it just over a year, apparently a really big problem with canon compacts the lens gets stuck out and fails to retract (should have gone with the Panasonic - LX5).

On the biggest river crossing one guy got swept away, fortunately dragged out of the river further downstream by another member of our group. As the water kept rising we were pulled across the river in a steel frame cage.

The last day of the trek involved lots of very deep wet mud, well over my boots at times - a beer had never tasted so good as at this finish line!

I think there were 18 river crossings in total, time for very wet feet, on day three the weather changed… apparently this region has 4000mm of rain a year, it showed. Clothes wouldn’t even dry overnight, horrible having to put wet clothes on in the morning! However felt surprisingly good, our group were great, really nice guys!
