EDGE Tour - Costa Rica
Hike and Swim in Amubri - Soki Mountain
I had so much fun hiking and swimming. Riding in the back of the pick up truck was a great way to start the day, if a little bumpy. The truck dropped us off in front of a beautiful bridge leading to a lush mountain. I’m not going to lie, I am not the most athletic person. The idea of trekking up a mountain in the Costa Rican heat was a little daunting, but I surprised myself with the pace I kept. It was easy to forget how tried I was with so much wildlife surrounding me. When we reached the top, we prayed as a group with Hader leading us and feasted on sugar cane. Swimming was also a riot. Paige and I walked up the rocks and successfully dove for the first time in our lives. It was the most fun I’ve had on the trip so far and I’m excited for more memories. - Ella
