Cachoeira

Hello! Yesterday, I had the amazing opportunity to go to a couple cachoeiras (waterfalls) with my 3rd host family! Right now, they are hosting a good exchange friend of mine, and they invited me and Marlee to travel with them to Ipoema to visit a few STUNNING waterfalls! One of the best parts was that it was through an incredibly mountainous area that had very few people, so it was even more beautiful! The road there was an adventure, though. It was all dirt, with steep cliffs and no guard rails. That's Brasil for you!

The first cachoeira we went to was called "Cachoeira Alto" which literally means Tall Waterfall. It was incredibly beautiful! There were even some brave people that repelled down the side of the waterfall, and they even went upside down at one point! Craaaaaazy, but I want to try!

The next cachoeira we went to was equally as beautiful, but wasn't very tall. We could, however, swim in this one! We were so excited, because it was around 90 degrees and the sun was strong! To think that its not even summer yet......

....... For some reason, the pictures from my NEXT adventure refuse to load, so I will continue in another blog post!!
