La Bufa

Pictures from hiking up the "bufa" or "picacho" with Sergio and Hans. Sergio has been asking me to join him in flying a kite, but since we hadn't planned for it, and I had been interested in doing some hiking, I mentioned the idea and so it was...I called several girls and guys from the program, but only Hans was able to join us. Turns out it was an excellent idea. The "bufa" or "picachos," as the rocky mountains are called here, was a difficult, yet exhilarating hike. As you can see, the view was gorgeous, and the wildlife (cows, cacti, etc.) was cool, too. We also saw three different caves! at times it was so steep we had to crawl on our hands, but this aspect only made it more of an adventure. We walked slowly at first, but as soon as we started mounting the hill, I understood why; and after 3.5 hours of hiking, I was worn out!
