Story:
On our trip to Bolivia with all the family, we also had planned to go to Santa Cruz, but a contract that I was negotiating for the company I work for, was at risk, so I had to leave the family, rush back to Santiago, and return a week later.
Sergio S. a friend of the family told my wife that he would gladly take me to a cascade in the one of the zones of the Amboró National Park. I accepted immediately and prepared myself after the stressing week in Santiago.
The road was narrow, and you needed to know your way in the park, as it had no signs or indications of where you were. Finally, we got to the destination, although we were covered in repellent, the mosquitos started their job. There were three waterfalls in a row, each more impressive than the other; there were some tourist operators that rappelled their customers on the side of the waterfall.
Using the digital age, I made a composite of two images in order to obtain full focus on the foreground as well as the background. I like the surreal look that it has.
