Waterfalls and Hot Springs

Had a great day visiting a couple waterfalls in the Caldera region. The first one was just off the main road, but the second one was on private property. Apparently it's untitled, and several different family members have attempted to claim it and sell the property for $100,000. It's about 100 acres from what I understood. And apparently they may have sold it more than once to an unsuspecting "gringo." Don't quote me on this. Lol

The hot springs were also on private property. The family charges $3 entry fee. That's what they live off of. Very humble place. Wish I had taken a picture of it. Beautiful grounds with multiple hot springs. We hung out in the ones closest to the river. The water was quite warm, at least 100°. Such a cool setting to have the sound of the rushing river nearby which I also went into as you'll see from the pictures. That water was pleasantly cool, probably about 70-72°.

In the last picture, you'll see the Volcán Barú which is the tallest mountain/volcano in Panama at 11,398 feet. You'll only allowed up there with a guide. And you can see the oceans on both sides of the country.Read more
