I recently visited a town called Mendoza. At the base of the Andes it is famous for it's wineries and rafting. The snowmelt from the huge mountains keeps the rivers pumping in what seems to be an otherwise arid landscape. Fancying a new adventure I signed up for a days white water rafting. But due to all the sediment brought down en route from the mountains the water water rafting was actually more like chocolate milk rafting. But regardless of this it was still very scary and thus, very fun. And I very nearly fell out of our raft at least once.
Our team; Two Mexicans, two Belgians, an Argentine and myself.
Paddling for dear life; I was scared, but I guess everyone else thought it was funny.
Approaching the rapids.
Facing the fear; our raft gets bashed between the rapids and rocks. No one died.
