A Trip Up the Mountain

by Veronica G.

The trip to the Bocca di Valle waterfall on Saturday was both a tiring and satisfying experience.


We were all happy that it was not extremely hot that day, as it had been most of that week. The hour hike up to the waterfall not only supplied us with beautiful views of Italy’s natural wildlife, but also a killer workout that I’m sure we were all feeling the next day.


As we finally neared our goal, almost everyone was exhausted. When the waterfall came into view though, we were filled with a sense of accomplishment that we had made it and were amazed by the size and beauty of the falls.


The water was toe-numbingly cold, especially for those who dared to wade right beneath the falls. Still, it was refreshing and really helped to rejuvenate everyone for the walk back, which happily took half the time it took to get up.


Overall, the hike was a very worthwhile experience that helped us to connect with Italy’s natural beauty.
