Got up early this morning and headed to the nearest waterfalls near my home. Llanos de Cortes, doesn’t fall short. It was awesome. Although very difficult to find the cutoff, it was worth it. It should’ve taken an hour, but I kept getting lost. There’s a theme here. Always lost. Follow the directions exactly. When it says turn off the main highway at the piedres bridge, do it. It is so easy to miss. Very bumpy tough road, says 4×4 necessary, but my Nissan made it through. The road is very bad. The signage to the turn is obscure, that’s why I say follow the directions exactly. It was an adventure being lost, it’s amazing how many people you meet while trying to find your way. Smile say Hola, and you will get the warmest greeting back right at you. The fruit stands are numerous along the highway and the town of Bagaces, is again, very friendly and helpful.
So good to finally arrive. My mind, soul, and body needed this today. I spent the day here as people came and went. Too awesome not to take full advantage of this beautiful waterfall. It’s so close to Coco, that if you see only one waterfall while in Costa Rica, this is the one. You can relax in the pool and lay on the beach, or if you’re daring walk carefully behind the falls, and dive in. Awesome, did I say that?
