Day 2 on the Cotahuasi River was a day of nervous energy and tension. After the flips the day before, losing food, and not making it as far downstream as we had hoped, it was clear we needed a change of plan. We got on the water and had some bigger rapids right away. We scouted probably 7 times through the day, including a HUGE scout at 'The Wall'. The rapid was long, technical, narrow, and BIG... and it was all against the left wall. Although there was a lot of nervous energy at the top, everyone had great lines, and it gave the group a much needed boost over our perviously stressful day.
After The Wall, we stopped and ate snack in the boulder garden below the rapid. We were feeling pretty good!
The river continued after the wall with lots more long, steep, continuos boulder gardens and great rapids. With a bit more water than we had, it would have been a nonstop rollercoaster the whole way down.
There was a rapid that we linded for the rafts that had a sweet move for the kayaks to the right, next to a big boulder.
