Experiencing Waterfall at Yanoda Rainforest

The Yanoda Rainforest was exciting. We did the Water Challenge. I also climbed up a waterfall in the rainforest. Learning about the plants in Yanoda was very fun. This was a fun day in the Yanoda Rainforest.

Water challenge

The Water Challenge was a series of obstacle courses in water. The first of them was to cross a river using just a rope. The next one involved a long series of tires crossing a pool. Some of them needed balance, others needed climbing, and yet more needed flexibility. This Water Challenge was awesome.

The final challenge of the Water Challenge was climbing up a waterfall. It was not very easy, but I could do it. It involved lots of balance, climbing, and some flexibility. I almost fell off the rope once. I missed a handhold, and hit the rock behind the waterfall. Luckily, my other hand was still on the rope.

The plants in Yanoda are very unique. Did you know that some plants take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide? A few of the plants in the rainforest are poisonous too. However, most of the plants in the Yanoda rainforest have amazing healing properties. The tea produced by the rainforest also is fantastic.

This rainforest was a very awesome place. The Water Challenge was a very wonderful challenge. Climbing the waterfall was a challenge, but it also wasn’t too hard. The flora and the fauna of the Yanoda Rainforest is stupendous. I wish this day had never ended!
