When walking in the horse
Today's hike along the road to Toche is practically a stroll compared to yesterday's, on a gravel road, among the hills that we see from our porch with very nice views back to the town, and at the peak of the road, a view to Valle de Cocora. Since it is a Sunday, there were more bicyclists and horses on the road than cars or people walking.
The Wax Palms of Valle de Cocora - altitude 2600 meters.
On the way up the valley we slogged along the horse track. On the way down we hopped over the barbed wire and walked in the pastures.

Holy cow! I'm not sure I would have been able to do it. Those logs look very wobbly. And the water doesn't look inviting.
Dios Mio!

@wq,
The dogs around Salento were very friendly (unless guarding their territory) and followed us on our hikes. However, this particular dog abandoned us when a group of bicyclists rode by; not to chase the bikes but to run along with them. Very cool!

It actually looks more scary than dangerous. In fact that evening we met brave young woman that survived a fall into the river with a few scratches and a dunked camera. She did have to walk for three hours in her wet clothes and walk half way into town in the dark. Major inconvenience!
