Because the weather wasn’t exactly cooperating,
the next part of our adventure
was postponed until tomorrow…
(oh what will it be??)
Instead our guide, Susan headed to another location…
This lady, who we now call Xena the Warrior Princess,
was in posession of, not one, but several machetes…
…this beauty she kept under the seat of her vehicle.
Destination…
La Fortuna waterfall
which drops 75 metres at the base of the dormant Chato Volcano.
Fed by the Tenorio River,
which travels through the rain forest in the Arenal Mountain Range,
until it plunges over the cliff to form this falls…
…we climbed the 400+ steps to the top…
…then the crew sent me down…down…
…for a great photo op…
…The best part of the climb was this little day-end treat…
…a soak in the Eco Thermales Hot Springs,
the natural volcanic springs of thermal water
with six pools of temperatures ranging from 37° to 41° C, and one fresh water waterfall,
all forming an exotic natural spa.
…our poor aching muscles were very thankful…
…and that refreshing pina colada was much appreciated…
…tomorrow will be
THE BIG EVENT!!!
I have to say the journey there and the waterfalls look absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting this post on.
It really has been an adventure Mark!
