This weekend a group of friends and I went to a city called Mindo, located in a cloud forest that is home to a large variety of different birds, reptiles, and exotic butterflies. This picture is from our hike through the cloud forest to reach the various "cascadas" (or waterfalls) that can be found along the trails. It is definitely a good idea to wear a swimsuit and a pair of sturdy sandals such as Chacos so that you can hike and get into the water without having to switch clothing again and again. Swimming in the water near the fountains feels absolutely amazing. The group of friends I went with made sure to keep hiking along the trail to see all of the waterfalls in the sanctuary because they are definitely worth the view! One of the fountains at the end was especially beautiful, and the water was crystal-clear. P.S. There is a restaurant called "Arepera" that has the best arepa I have ever had in my entire life, and to be honest one of the best things I have ever eaten. This place is a must if you ever visit Mindo.
