A video shared on the tourist’s Instagram showed the moment of impact. “I was there for a few minutes, so I knew there was a place for shelter next to me. I was on the edge of a cliff, so I was able to protect myself.”

“I am fully aware that I took a big risk. I felt in control, but regardless, when it started snowing and it got dark and hard to breathe, I was stuck and thought I might die.”

The man claimed that he left the place with his body full of dust. When I joined them [o grupo]I could see that everyone was fine, even though one of them had injured her knee (she rode one of the horses to the nearest medical center). Another fell off a horse and got some light bruises.”
