to to and what not, but only a few know of this place and I can
promise you those who attempt to get there turn around when they see
the first vertical descent you have to do . Fortunately for us the
local who plugged us in with our house told us about it. From the
viewpoint (last post) we hiked down into the crater of the mountain.
It was like 200% humidity and the Mosquitos were feasting on our
flesh. Once Nikki and I got to the first cliff descent we looked and
pretty much said no way! I was pretty frightened by it. Sure I was
destined to get a shot of it but not with the risks of dying or
breaking a bunch of bones. If you get hurt theres no way you're gonna
get any medical care until you get to the mainland which would easily
take all day. So as we turned around this wacky german guy showed
up. He had been down there before and said he would show me the
route. I was eager to see this place so I went. Nikki went back down
to the beach. I descended three cliffs ranging from 40-70 feet. One
of them I even hadto crawl through a little hole to even get on the
cliff! It was pretty scetch but I had to see it. I got to the bottom
with all my camera gear and at first glimpse drpped my jaw. It was
like nat geo eat your heart out amazing!! Surrounded by jungle
cliffs, stucalite rock, countless caves, and this bizarre orange mud
lies an emerald green lagoon. It was unreal! The photos don't do it
justice. And boy did I have a hayday in there! The only downside to
that journey is that I have well over a hundred mosquito bites and
still counting.
