Pure fun - Our guides yonson and david turned what could have been a washout into five hours of great fun. We hiked in clouds, rain and mud; slipping and sliding and having a blast.

the metrocable was not working - Our trip was changed because the metrocable that goes into Parque Arvi was closed so we took a long bus ride into the area. Then after talking to the Policia Parque we learned that the area of the hike was not accessible so the guides improvised and changed the route. We visited a lake and did some walking in the area. The bus ride was not fun but the metrocable will be working soon. Overall it was an 8 hour journey due to the bus rides.
