Our last main adventure on our trip was to El Salto Waterfall. It was over an hour and a half bus ride to the roadside town of Corinta, but when we alit, we were in warmer, tropical forests.
The actual hike was relatively easy, but it did have some steep inclines that got our blood pumping. Poor Becky was sunburned from our bike ride the day before, so she wore a light jacket the whole time. I truly don't know how she did it because the humidity was intense.
Upon arriving at the waterfall, there was another family just getting ready to leave, so we had the place to ourselves for about ten minutes or so. Sitting on a large rock perched midway up the cascades and surrounded by utter magnificence was the best part of the day.
Pictures really don't do justice to the place, but at least you can hear the crashing of water with video.

After admiring the views and munching on a snack, we headed down to the river where one could bathe. Yeah, no. We were dripping sweat, but the water was freezing.
Thankfully, we only had to wait twenty minutes to flag a bus back to Sogamoso....and we got seats! Life just doesn't get any better.
Very nice. I can empathize with Becky's light complexion!
