Asombroso - Amazing!

This was the climb up to the waterfall we visited today.  It's called  Pailon del Diablo (Devil's Cauldron).  It was one of the most amazing wonders of creation I've ever seen.  God is so powerful!

Before getting to the waterfall we had to walk  1KM down a steep path .

Once getting to the waterfall we had to climb on our hands and knees through a tunnel that leads to the back of the  fall.  It is pretty tight, mighty wet and a bit crowded since it is a holiday weekend.

Once through the tunnel we were behind  the waterfall.  We are almost to the top.  We couldn't take pictures at the actual place behind it because it is so wet and powerful.  No picture could describe the sheer power of the water!
The white is the actual falls from behind.  We are waiting our turn to go higher up.  Not a sight for those afraid of heights.
Afterwards we had to climb back down the tunnels.  The girls loved this adventure!

Not an easy climb for those who are taller!

Below is the cauldron.  We are soaked after our climb to the top!
This is only the bottom part of the falls.  Pure beauty.

We are at the bottom of the falls quite a distance away.
As if the falls weren't enough, we went ten minutes up the road to take a cable care across a canyon  1000 feet above the ground.  No waivers to sign, no warning signs, and it only costs $1.50 per person.  I'm questioning my parenting choices!
Even I, normally pretty adventurous, was a bit nervous, but what an amazing sight!
