Ziplining at PANACHI PARK!!!


Have you ever felt died of fright?
That was exactly I felt while I was doing ziplining at that park.
Let me tell you where and what is " PANACHI " so you will understand better my story.
In a easy way PANACHI is a place where you can't get enough of it. But it's not much information so would be better to write that Chicamocha National Park also know as PANACHI is a Colombian Natural park along the Chicamocha Canyon (Cañón del Chicamocha) located 50 km from the city of Bucaramanga ( Santander). The site is a tourist attraction due to is spectacular landscape and the variety of outdoor activities that it offers such as paragliding, spelunking, bushwalking, camping, fishing, kayaking, rafting, mountain climbing, etc. The park is served by a 6.3 km length cable car system. It is one of the longest systems of its type in the world.  Officially opened in January 2009 it quickly became popular for all its attracions.


It's a good moment to tell you about my home city that it es located in Santander department ( or State ) and its capital Bucaramanga. It has one of the most mountainous territories of the country, as the Eastern Andes Range crosses the northern part of the department. By 2007 , they had opened the park and the " cable vuelo" was the best attraction in that moment. I was looking forward  to trying it even Whether I felt nervous about. Common sense and curiosity were my accomplices , at the end you always say " why not??? ." Then after I bought the entry pass I was ready to jump down. I went down while I was dying slowly ! Why dying? I'd never imagined how fast could be it...I felt too much afraid when I went  down through  " cable vuelo" and I almost could not walk by myself. My accomplices ( common sense and curiosity ) had disappeared and I finally got " real friends" were making fun of me ! On that link you can get an approach ..
