Greetings human travelers, how are you...
I am delighted to have discovered this community, and today I want to tell you about a trip we took to the municipality of Envigado, which is located in Colombia.
We live in an apartment in MedellĂn and we traveled by motorcycle for about 40 minutes to this place, where we left our vehicle in a parking lot. From there, we ventured into the forest for a hike of approximately one hour.
This is a level 4 hike as we go uphill along a stone path bordering the Ayura creek, where we see various types of terrain.
In the photo, this type of path is called "canalones" because, as the locals in this area tell us, it can only be accessed on horseback or on foot.
The climate in this place is premontane humid forest and it is protected by the municipality of Envigado. This place is a paradise; however, you need to bring hydration and something to eat because itâs just you and nature.
We started this hike at 11 a.m. and encountered many people both going up and down, although I noticed it is very popular among English-speaking tourists.
Although the place itself is a paradise, we reached the cherry on top, which is the first of three waterfalls in this area. To get there, we had to descend a slope of about 5 meters, where even my wife fell, haha.
When we arrived, the power of the water was majestic. I climbed up to this waterfall and bathed in its magical waters. The force of this waterfall is immense, and I couldn't stand it for more than 30 seconds.
The water is cold, though the sun accompanied us for a while. I loved it because it was the first time I experienced the sensation of immersing myself in a waterfall. The feeling of power, of tranquility, is something you can only experience firsthand.
If I tell you itâs the first of three waterfalls, itâs because about 40 minutes further up are the others, along with some caves. But since it was getting late, we'll leave it for the future, and Iâll prepare myself more physically. I must say, my wife is in better physical shape than I am, as even while writing this post, my legs are still sore. But rest assured, Iâll document it when I climb to the caves.
In the photo, you can also see some hanging nests made by a bird that lives there. I was lucky enough to see it; it is black, but its tail has yellow at the tips of its feathers.
If you ever think of doing this route, I don't recommend going alone and make sure to wear comfortable clothes with good sneakers or boots.
Human beings by nature always seek the natural, and discovering this magical place recharged my energy.
Thank you very much for getting here and reading my post. Remember to travel, learn something new, exercise, and most importantly, seek YOUR HAPPINESS.
BLESSINGS... REMEMBER THAT TRAVELING WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU A STORY TO TELL.

Saludos humanos viajeros como estĂĄn...
Me encanta haber descubierto esta comunidad y hoy quiero hablarles sobre un viaje que hicimos hacia el municipio de Envigado el cual se encuentra ubicado en Colombia.
Nosotros vivimos en un apartamento en MedellĂn y nos trasladamos en moto aproximadamente 40 minutos hacia este lugar donde dejamos nuestro vehĂculo en un parqueadero, allĂ nos aventuramos en el bosque para hacer una caminata de una hora aproximadamente.
Esta es una caminata nivel 4 ya que vamos es subiendo por un camino en piedra bordeando la quebrada la Ayura donde vemos varios tipos de terreno.
En la foto esta tipo de camino se le llama canalones ya que nos cuentan las personas que viven por este sector que solo se puede acceder en caballo o a pie.
El clima de este lugar es bosque hĂșmedo premontano y esta resguardado por el municipio de Envigado, esto por acĂĄ es un paraĂso; eso si debes traer e hidrataciĂłn y algo de comer porque solo tu estas con la naturaleza.
Este recorrido lo hicimos a las 11 a.m y nos encontramos muchas personas tanto subiendo como bajando aunque note que es muy turĂstico para personas del idioma ingles.
Aunque el lugar en si es una paraĂso, llegamos a la cereza del pastel el cual es la primera de 3 cascadas en este sector, pero para bajar allĂ tenĂamos que decender por una pendiente unos 5 metros que hasta mi mujer se cayo jeje.
Al llegar allà es majestuoso el poder del agua, yo subà a esta cascada y me bañe con esta agua mågica. La fuerza que tiene esta cascada es brutal y no aguantaba mas de 30 segundos.
El agua es frĂa aunque el sol nos acompaño un rato. A mi me encanto porque era primer vez que yo vivĂa en carne propia la sensaciĂłn de meterme en una cascada. La sensaciĂłn de poder, de tranquilidad es algo que solo puedes experimentar.
Si te digo que es la primera de 3 cascadas es porque mas arriba a unos 40 minutos estĂĄn las otras junto con unas cuevas. Pero como era tarde lo dejaremos para futuro y que me prepare mas fĂsicamente, eso si te digo mi mujer tiene mejor estado fĂsico que yo,ya que al momento de escribir este post aun estoy resentido de las piernas. Pero tengan fe que los documentare cuando suba a las cuevas.
TambiĂ©n en la foto pueden apreciar algo colgado son unos nidos de una ave que vive allĂ, tuve la suerte de verla y es de color negro pero en su cola tiene color amarillo en las esquinas de sus plumas.
Si algĂșn dĂa piensas hacer esta ruta pues no te recomiendo que subas solo y que estĂ©s con ropa cĂłmoda acompañado de unos buenos tenis o botas.
El ser humano por naturaleza busca siempre lo natural y el haber descubierto este lugar tan mĂĄgico me recargo de energĂa.
Muchas gracias por llegar hasta aquĂ y leer mi post, recordandoles viajar, aprender algo nuevo, hacer deporte y lo mĂĄs importante buscar TU FELICIDAD.
BENDICIONES... RECUERDA QUE VIAJAR SIEMPRE TE DARĂ UNA HISTORIA QUE CONTAR.
