Lacanja

Lacanja
Just a quick one night stand with Lacanja but it was worth it. Half the group left at the crack of dawn but for me and seven others, we got a sleep in and didn't leave till 9. It is such a luxury to get to sleep in. We got on the road and headed over to our next stop, a camp site in the jungle. The drive over was absolutely stunning. Although raining I could still see out and the landscape s lush and green and vibrant. Banana trees, corn, and a whole raft of plants grown. It is a lot like the Waitakere ranges but much more vast. The roads are dotted with small huts and villages, wild dogs and farm stock, children selling food and others not doing much of anything at all but seem happy enough to flip off the passing van.
When we arrived in Lacanja we had an hour to eat and get changed and then we went white water rafting. It was great fun. I dont have any photos due to the fact that it was rafting and I only have a dslr, however Gemma and Gavin had GoPros with them so we should get some good footage. The rafting was good fun. There was lengths of river which were still and then there would waterfalls anywhere between 1-3 meters. Initially I was going to sit in the front but  couldn't do it. It was too terrifying. I am glad I didn't too after watching the two in front (Gemma and Rasmus) get dunked at every fall.
After about 45 minutes we were done and it was time to do the walk back through the jungle, past some ruins and waterfalls. That took about an hour and a half. I am so done for the day. My clothes are wet and smell less than ideal. Hopefully they dry soon...
