Today has been about the journey(s) and not really so much about the final destination.
First, probably the cheapest long distance taxi ride ever to another paragliding wonderland at Sopetrán.
Then 14 people +2 gliders + multiple bags of rice/beans/cement, a big box of salt crackers and a 50litre water bottle up a mountain in a jeep for 30 minutes.
A welcome at a rural finca that can only be understood if you have been welcomed in Colombia, followed by a spontaneous lunch invitation, a close encounter with a fighting sheep and a very large Brahman bull, a dash off the mountain in a storm and then 1 hour in a tuk-tuk with 2 gliders and a bag of bananas!!
Its been a crasy fun day!!

You have to love a tree that grows hearts:)
 

Orchid moth
I'm not sure if that was a made-up name or not!

High-speed encounter with the Sopetrán chiva carrying all the useful things
that chivas carry. Not a single tourist in sight!! ;-)
The guardian of El Noral take-off - No Bullshit! ;-)
