Hola CdBers!
I?ve been hanging out in Cuzco for the last three weeks now, after I found out safety kayakers are in high demand... (especially those who speak good English
. I found work with Mayuc, and have been getting
paid (15$US a day!) to paddle the Chuqi section of the Urubamba river everyday... It?s continuous class II-III rapids, not the roller coasters I?m used to on the Ottawa but a challenge none the less: there are rocks EVERYWHERE... you can never let your guard down(!). Mayuc also routinely does 3 day trips down the Apurimac river, class IV-V stuff... I?m not there yet, but who knows with time... competition is quite fiercer to safety kayak those trips though (and the pay doubles). I was finally able to upload pics on Facebook if you?d like to have a look.

I miss you guys, but I?m planning on staying here a little while longer... keep enjoying the crazy high water in Ottawa!
besos,
Carine
