This was my third hike with Sandra and my fourth around Medellin, and once again, we failed to find the intended path. Sandra got instructions from a colleague a couple of months ago, but could no longer decipher her cryptic notes, to the point that we started at the wrong station, and no one we asked had any idea of where we trying to go. Again, we followed recommendations and took a bus up the hill to a path that led to a lake in the mountains. While there, a man guiding a group came from the opposite direction and suggested we go out that way because it was only a half hour walk. That half hour walk stretched to more than two hours, and when we finally did reach a road, we were stopped and told that we had been walking on private property owned by an adventure company and had to pay for using it for the day. We may have to pay a guide for our next hike…
