Cabanaconde town is at the top of the canyon and today we planned to hike down to the bottom of it. We had our breakfast with 2 French couples who turned out to have chosen the same final destination as we did. We waved each other goodbye until the afternoon and all started hiking at our own pace.
The hike was a true test to ankles and shins as we descended 1.2km down. The heat also increased substantially during the day, even with some fires and smokes going around.
When we arrived at our accommodation we were eager to jump into the hot spring water pools that the place was known for. We were surprised to find not 4 but 8 French people already in there. It has proven to be a feature of the day, as one after another new couples or groups of people came and every single one of them was French. In the end, there were around 18 French and 2 us Lithuanians in all the hostel 🇫🇷, maybe we brought at least a bit of international feeling to them 😅.
We enjoyed the river and hot pools. We swam, jumped from the rocks, and spend couple of hours in the water which was super satisfying after the hike 🏞.
We all stayed in the cute little houses and had dinner in the main area at the edge of the cliff.
