7 Waterfalls

Well, I can check off another place on my list of places to go! First it was Bense Pool, now 7 waterfalls. I've been hearing about this hike for quite some time and I'm so glad I finally went. It's about an hour drive to the start site, you hike for about 4 hours, and then the driver picks you up at the end point. Throughout the hike you see lush green trees, rolling rivers, and of course 7 different waterfalls, each unique and beautiful.



The first hour or so of the hike consists of careful foot placement on squishy rain forest soil and precise grabbing of random trees to catch your balance. I may have had a couple of slips, but by the end we were all covered in dirt after a few slides down hills.

The rest of the hike is a mix of crossing waste-high rivers, climbing over boulders, and trekking through the rain forest. It's such an adventure!

Our guide pointed out each waterfall. Some were in the distance, but most were accessible and we were able to swim in the cold, refreshing pools below. Ahhhh, that felt so relaxing.








What a great way to spend a Saturday with friends!
