Incredible vistas

This is a nice hike back to a gorgeous waterfall of blue water. The hike continues back to where the blue water mixes with clear spring water, a nice picture. The path gets a little more like a trail. Moderate walk of 2.3 km one way. We saw white faced monkeys and a sloth. A nice cool rain for 10 minutes helps you through the humidity.

Operator response
