At
left, Los Naranjos Retreat Center has its own, spring
fed waterfall, coming down from the mountains. The pool
into which it falls is about 7 feet deep and great for
swimming or just hanging out. Behind the photographer
the water cascades another 30 feet into the valley where
the retreat center is located.
The
village waterfall is easy to find. Ask any of the locals
and they are happy to point the way. Once on the path
you follow upstream, past the rose-wood factory, through
the narrow valley, and past papaya, lime and other tropical
fruit trees growing wild.
Above,
Karen, Kevin, Jim and Tierno pause to admire the scenery, half
way to the waterfall. Steve is
seen at left, perched high above the pool at the base of the
falls. A steady cold and wet wind from evaporation provides
a natural air conditioner for visitors.
Here
there is a steady wind caused by the evaporation, and the temperature
drops 15-20 degrees. The pool is deep enough to swim in, the
water is refreshingly cool, and the waterfall provides free
massages and never gets tired.
The
water in the pool, seen behind Ellen (at right) is cold, but
participants often take the plunge.
