you Feel Free kayak school is ready to leave for the wonderful Colombia.
Group members are: Mario Adolini, Vincenzo Brasca, Michele Rinaldi, Giulio Oliva of Lao Adventure.
Departure from Fiumicino airport at 7:00 am on January 1, 2009 (in practice, a whole banner pulled by year-end until the departure. Then, well-deserved rest and megadormita Paris - Bogota. Hopefully! When we went to Chile was a little boy who cried from Madrid to Buenos Aires all the time. 12 hours of tears! We hoped that the plane fell!).
The road map provides travel the rivers of south-west and north-east. From Bogota we move by bus to the south-west area of \u200b\u200bSan Agustin in Huila, a town in pre-Columbian archaeological site was located on the slopes of the Andes (10 hours, speramo well!). Li was born on Rio Magdalena, Colombia's main river that cuts diagonally across the country from southwest to northeast across the Pacific to jump into the Caribbean coast of Colombia. In addition to the Rio Magdalena, which has several interesting canoeing from the third to fifth grade, the area of \u200b\u200bSan Agustin is rich tributaries, and we hope to find some gem. Amid, coordinator of the Magdalena Rafting, and Hugo, have given us lots of interesting information via email. Then I will tell you.
From there, we head north-east in San Gil (unless we seize er crazy to Ecuador and then to San Agustin, stop in Quito to enjoy the rivers of Baeza. 1998 trip, wonderful memories . Twenty days of joy! But back to us here otherwise we start to wander between Chile, Patagonia and ... so on and so forth. Oh my God I am no longer have links in my shoes!) popular place, we said, the Colombia for the practice of extreme sports and lots of rivers. According to the description of his Giò Coderre, is a place like Tena in Ecuador. Many rivers in the area, day trips and even if you want some beautiful river trip. Here too, the friend Cesar, Colombia Rafting Expeditiones coordinator, has provided a range of interesting information about the types of the rivers, tips for travel, etc.. The only flaw, which to tell the truth I worry a bit ', which he said is, at present, there are high levels! What do you mean? There is no water? You do not go in a canoe? I hope he means that the levels are not ideal. If we get there and there is no water I cut the p ... We'll see. If I come back I will speak affemminato ... means that there was no water!
Everything is ready, my garden is an expanse of equipment and washing hung ready to be stuffed in your backpack. One more thought I give it the canoes. Air France is making complications for transporting canoes and we were forced to declare that we carry the surf. I hope in the good-hearted staff at check-in. The canoes will be well camouflaged in the bags, but if you take the measures we're screwed! At that point, instead of rivers in Colombia will go for viados. What can I say ... well that experience. For my tastes, perhaps too extreme!
I hope when I come back to be able to entertain with tales and adventure ... great pictures and video. Thanks in advance
the sponsor Gymkayak shop, canoe in Rome, for helping to provide clothing and equipment.
