Waterfall Hike

Brent, Matt, Thomas, Sensai, & Myself started under the bridge near basecamp.

And followed the water flowing underfoot.


There were a few large/sketchy falls to navigate.

The beauty was abundant.

Matt is a beef cake...and ready for any challenge.

Scariest part was crossing under this tunnel.  The water came up to our nippies under there :)

Epic Conan pose.




Tread lightly my boy.

Go...that way?

We have arrived.


Successful journey!

One afternoon, all of us volunteers decided to forge a river running through camp.  After a few hours we popped out at the waterfall by Matt & Erica's treeehouse known as Mis Ojos.  It was stunning to get a new perspective on this beautiful natural feature.  It was also cool to feel the power of the raging river and reach a new level of respect for it.  And this respect and caution is necessary as this river can rise 10 feet in 10 minutes during a rain forest downpour.
