Quebrada Castro

This tour was awesome... and eventful.

We drove about an hour away past Dominical to the nature park where we were to take a "shuttle", which was a tractor with a trailer attached to the back. The shuttle was furiously bouncing around as we went what seemed like straight up and down and around sharp corners until.... A wheel fell off! From there our guide Brian said "I guess we're walking from here"! It was all down hill from there so it really wasn't bad.

Since I've gained so much weight not long after we started the actual "hike" I was breathless, sweaty, and tired. We finally reached the upper part of the waterfall where I was glad to rest for a few minutes... Then it was on to the bottom where we could actually swim and hang out.

It was beautiful and felt great to just sit in the water with it rushing past you, feeling the sun but staying cool. We hung out for about an hour, ate some pineapple and then began the ALL UPHILL hike back to the ranchero where luckily they were sending a tractor with all the wheels to pick us up.

After that we had a chicken and rice lunch then headed back to Jungle Creek.Read more
