Gocta Falls, The Second Highest in the World

To get to the Gocta waterfalls was an unexpected challenge. The trail was much longer than expected and much steeper; with some less adventurous folks we came across that resorted to horseback. The reward at the end was a picnic lunch and swim in the chilly, wet environment at the bottom of the cascade where the water had turned to a powerful misty wind that battered us until we could submerge ourselves in the icy water.
