On Day two of our trip, we headed out to Tamanique Waterfalls, about a 30-min drive from our rented house. It was HOT and I think we underestimated how tired we'd feel walking in the 90-degree heat (sorry, Mom & Dad!), but Chamba again guided us to a special spot in the country.
I think it was about a two-mile walk down to the group of four waterfalls (Cascadas) in the valley surrounded by farms. They were really scenic and felt so secluded/secretive.
You could jump off rocks safely on two of the four falls, and swim at the base (if you chose).
The kids were a bit apprehensive (the water was colder than they expected, I think!).
Iver was more interested in viewing the tiny and major tadpoles in the water.
Auntie Vanessa dipped her feet in.
Chamba demonstrated how to jump off the rocks into the pool at the base of the falls.
The older boys geared up!
Kelvin had a lot of anticipatory anxiety but took the plunge (twice). It was probably about a 25-foot drop.
Iver even took a little leap off the lower rock-- I was proud of him!
We had a late lunch at Roca Sunzal, a hotel right on the beach at El Tunco (named after a piggie-shaped rock), and had delicious drinks and seafood.
Back at the house, the kids wanted to get right into the private pool to cool off.
The pool was spectacular, with spouting delfines.
Iver was really into jumping from the upper to lower pool, playing "Man after the ball" and "mouse chases the cheese" (because of N's yellow floaty jacket) with Niall.
Niall is more of a relaxer.
We then got coaxed into coordinated jumps.
We enjoyed the evening(s) with game and family time.
Dominoes!
Chess for beginners!
Auntie love!
