Rio La Venta: Introduction
This was probably the all-time trip of a lifetime. How can you top perfection. I honestly don’t know if anything could be cooler. I just thank God that he allowed Nate and I to experience something so beautiful, so unbelievably unique, so wild, so adventurous.
The began at a waterfall deep in the jungle and ended in a lake 60 miles downstream. The map below gives you an idea of the route.
Armed with a paddle, an inflatable kayak, a weeks worth of freeze dried meals and a GPS…. we were off.
Thankfully, Nate wrote down a journal to capture the feelings and thoughts we experienced on the river. Below is the exact journal along with several appropriate photographs to fill in the picture.
Also, don’t forget to watch the video of the experience:
