Pleased by a treasured moment with Mother Earth, I decided to sit down and wait for my friends to arrive, not twenty (20) seconds had passed and I already heard the tumultuous group of voices , which made me think that they had reached me too quickly, since the step I had taken when I got ahead was accelerated enough to create a distance that would allow me a space of time. I got up and after a few minutes I could not see anyone, the strange thing was that I could constantly identify the voice of a "woman", then I assumed that it was some other group of hikers that were returning, which I heard "steps "," Conversations "and" laughs "but I did not see any sign of life. Consequently, the passage of time became very prolonged and my mind reproduced that night in the "first viewpoint" when we heard the unmistakable voice of a "woman", however, I decided to trust in the peace that I felt. I had granted and I returned slowly until I saw my friends, after that, I did not issue any comments that disturbed the mood of arriving at the promised place.
The progress of our location has stabilized in the flatter area, the closeness became more and more evident, I was very struck by the fact that the land there looked like black, there were remains of wood in many parts and tree bases like if they had been cut, I remember that it was very remarkable the entrance of something that seemed to be a kind of room, had translucent walls made with palm branches and in the center a tree base with a lot of ash around, the "guide" warns us that "let's leave that quiet" that sometimes comes to the "witchcraft", giving a fall to any style of unspeakable ritual done by unusual individuals, affirmation of the subconscious that excludes us as supporters of having pagan beliefs oriented to spiritism. Undoubtedly, we keep our distance and continue to move forward along the way.
Suddenly the "guide" turns to face us and says the following words, "gentlemen", "after almost five (5) hours of an exhausting journey", "we have reached our destination point", "here we remain installed until tomorrow", "they are free to explore the surrounding areas", "as long as they understand how to return", "protect their belongings as always" and "avoid any misunderstandings" , "please be welcome" and "have fun"
With the satisfaction in our faces, we lowered the load of luggage that we had on the shoulders and we took a little "respite", meaning a period of grace for having achieved that goal. In addition, the river did not wait, from there it was just down a few steps and enjoy its refreshing water, I calculate that its diameter was about fifteen (15) meters or more, it was very spacious, had a current that slipped the water On a stone mural that seemed to slide, the truth was very gratifying to appreciate its beauty in front. Upon entering, I swam among its waters and realized that I could not touch the bottom in the center, so I preferred to stay a little closer to the shore, because it is something I respect a lot, so I tell people I have heard that you have disappeared in rivers and have never been found.
After a deserved dive, we went to face the challenge of finding some dry branches in the midst of the abundant humidity, so the idea was to make a bonfire that kept us basically safe from two (2) things, first of all the stalker darkness and second of the implacable cold. We had to hurry, since the fall of night was approaching and the thickness of the trees would surely block us from the little illumination of brightness that comes from the moon and the stars. With a little effort we got the branches, and in the same way grass and palms that also served, the latter we put together in a circle of stones and lit them with the remnants of matches of the "first rise", we placed the branches in a similar way to an Indian store until finally the flame burned its magic.
To be continue…
