Zip lining through the Mountains and Rapids

1/17/19 

Today, we went Las Cascadas de Animas to zip line, relax by the pool, hike, and to enjoy some final fun time all together before heading home from our SIE trip to Argentina and Chile. We spent our final day in South America there to enjoy the mountains and rivers that Chile had to offer. We started our day by getting off the bus and being welcomed with breakfast and coffee, followed by some people deciding to go and hike up the mountain where they were able to drink spring water from the mountain and coming face to face with a rescue puma while some people including myself decided to relax by the pool and enjoy the sun. The first activity of the day was followed by a buffet lunch and a complimentary local Chilean drink. Once lunch was finished, we were ready to zip line over the river. 

Some fun time relaxing by the pool 

As we prepared to take off for our zip lining excursion, we were required to sign our names and get the proper equipment for our adventure. Each person picked a partner that they would ride along the trails with. As we were about to take off Alyssa stated that "it feels like we are in Tarzan" which I couldn't agree more because it seemed like we should have been surrounded by wild animals and swinging vines. On our zip lining trip, we took two different routes where in both we went over the rapid moving river and trees inside the canyon that we were surrounded by. The trip was amazing and was a once in a lifetime experience that I am happy I was able to enjoy. Everyone seemed to have an awesome time zip lining and it was a great way to end our trip. As our final day on our trip came to an end, I'm so happy and thankful for the time that we all had because we met great new people, and became close with people that you may have never gotten to know otherwise, so this trip was an experience that I will never forget.
