<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter reaching the 8 km mark, where I was nearing Cola Del Caballo which marked the halfway point, I entered into the canyon where the Pyrenees mountains were the star of the show. Covered in bright white snow and one of the most overwhelming views I have ever seen. The height towered over all the hikers and made me realize how small I am compared to everything the exists in the world. It has been one of my favorite views in my whole life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The canyon along the Pyrenees Mountains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n After recovering from this view and still not believing that it was real and in front of me, I kept walking along the river to Cola Del Caballo without taking my eyes off of the mountains. After walking two more kilometers along the path, I finally reached Cola Del Caballo. It is a waterfall and “Cola Del Caballo” translated to “Horse Tail” in English. It is called this because the way the water falls makes it look like a horse’s tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cola Del Caballo Waterfall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n After taking in all these views (and taking many photos) the trek back began. One recommendation is to start the hike as early as possible, 11 am is the latest you can start to complete the hike before it gets dark. In front of the waterfall is a nice place to sit to take a break and have a picnic before the hike back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the hike was very tiring, this is one of my favorite hikes in my whole life just because of the views. During this pandemic, many of the travels I have done have involved outdoor activities to be the safest possible. Hikes are a great way to avoid cabin fever, get some exercise and discover new places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
