Toro Toro 4 - The Canyon

(Posted retroactively)

On our second day, we headed out to a canyon known as El Vergel.

After walking down about a million and a half stairs, we came across a little swimming hole, where there were waterfalls in which we swam. We stopped and hung out for like an hour, swimming, tanning, napping, and eating.

Then was the hard part: on the way back we had to climb back up the million and a half stairs, which is hard enough in Cochabamba at the Jesuchristo statue - but Toro Toro is at an elevation of 3,600 m: a whole kilometer higher than Cochabamba, which means it was seriously difficult to breathe.
