Chasing Waterfalls-Day 2

After getting back to Liberia, we checked out a few hostels so we could rest for the night. Most of them were either booked or not open. We settled on staying in a hotel called Hotel Guanacaste. The next morning, we packed up and took a bus to the beginning of Rincon De la Vieja National Park.

The bus we took to get there will only take you so far and then turn around. The roads were not fit for buses beyond that point. So we walked about 1 km to the entrance. We pay. And there is a sign there saying that the hotel (which is the beginning of the park) is another 3-4 km. So we trekked the way. Phew! We finally got to the restaurant at the hotel. We were all so hungry and thirsty. 

It was a super classy type restaurant. We just knew we were in for it when the bill came. Our food arrived and was soooo good and plentiful. Our bill only ended up being $13. Good deal! 

There are about 3 waterfalls that are in the vicinity of the hotel. We picked the one that was the shorter distance because we had already walked a lot with 2 kiddos. The walk was about 1-2 km. It's so neat because the closer you get, the more you can hear the waterfall. We played the game, see who can hear it first.  

We got there and it was amazing! The stairs, sketchy. But simply wonderful. 

Las Chorreras is the name of the waterfall. Chorreras Waterfall meets with the Río Blanco (White River), and together they form a natural, clear, sky blue pool. The river side was SUPER cold, while the waterfall side was definitely a lot warmer. It was sooo clear.


Sorry for the lameo stock pic. Didn't think to bring the phone charger on our overnight stay, and we ended up with a dead battery by morning. =(
