Merida, Venezuela....ropes courses, ziplines, paragliding and hiking in the Andes up to 15000ft


Steph the dork tourist running off a cliff

Off Steph goes

"if your parents told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?"

Yes




Isabella is ALLLLL about it :)

Not the best picture, but he definately has that high altitude swollen face thing going

We love our mom's vacation plans

The BEST HIKERS, CAMPERS IN THE WHOLE WORLD - NEVER COMPLAINED...ONLY HAD FUN

Ranger station......abondoned....Gracias a Chavez

On our way up to the pass for Pico Pan de Azucar (Sweetbread Mountain)

The Moon at Sunrise, 13000ft

Wet, muddy, but no rain campsite

River crossings....so many...not suppose to be as it was "dry season"


Morning Sunshine

"I have never heard of an American Family with kids who come here for camping and hiking."



poor kid, the one who suffered the most from the altitude

Mother dork and her family

Nothing like hot Chocolate in the morning

15,000 ft, in front of Pan de Azucar (of course, can't see it due to rain and fog in dry season)

We have bear camping in Montana, they have "burro camping" in the Andes.  This burro wanted to eat everything. 

A little chat about how crazy this camping trip is

Ham and heese, tuna, olive or whatever you want ice cream at the Guiness Book of World Records ice cream shop...we stuck with chocolates, and fruits

Casa Del Sol Posada...our home away from home
