Hola Familias!
This is our last evening in La Fortuna before we head to the coast. Meaning "the fortunate," La Fortuna has welcomed us and opened up our understanding of Costa Rica significantly! This town at the foot of the volcano has become cozy, and we are sad to leave it, but we know that there are more adventures ahead!
Today was one of the most spectacular days! We traveled to a local cave for a tour in the morning. I was thinking that this would be a somewhat corny Crystal Cave- like visit... oh no! We met our guide Victor and hiked down to the cave entrance where we noticed that there is a river flowing through the cave! With our helmets and headlamps we courageously entered into the unknown. Inside, we saw exquisite formations of stalagmites, limestone walls, and millions of years old caverns. We were in the womb of the earth! On our exploration, we were up to our knees in flowing water at times. Other caverns were only accessed by crawling on the ground. We saw a variety of well-adapted critters and even a few bats. It was an unforgettable adventure!
In the afternoon, we explored the waterfall which is also called La Fortuna.
