WE GOT JUNGLE FEVER!
Just another sunny day in Mexico and we all headed out for a little bit of walking with Luisa as our tour guide. I had zero idea of where it was that we were going or that we would be walking on some rough terrain, good job i wore my trusty Merrell's. We took the car as far as it would go but soon the road became less and less like a road so we parked up and carried on by foot. The view from here was amazing, surrounded by mountains and fields with citrus trees and palms.
We followed the path lower and lower as the jungle started to grown around us and the soon the temperature was much cooler and the hot sun was hidden by giant leaves, wines and tropical trees. Along the way there were several spots where people had laid offerings or performed rituals, candles and flowers had been laid often by a stone that showed a carving from centuries ago. These carvings were everywhere and really illustrated the history of where we were walking.
We hiked for around 45 mins maybe an hour and just around a final bed was a huge stone wall that i believe in the rainy season becomes a giant waterfall. As its summer this was not the case but we were lucky enough that the pools were filled with enough water to swim in and of course i was straight in there! The pools were amazing and we were happy to be cooled off after the walk, it was so amazing and definitely something i had had hoped i would get to do while visiting Mexico.
