So three weeks ago when I was in Costa Rica we decided to go on a wild goose chase for a waterfall. After our adventure I came back and blogged that I would have some great photos for you guy’s to see shortly. I wanted to post them, but I wanted them bigger. I had outgrown my blog literally. So being back in the states and slammed with work, I couldn’t find the time to give the blog a refresh. Well this weekend I set the time a side (between home improvements) and gave the blog a refresh. Now introducing the “New Droze Blog with 30% More Photo.” heheheh.

And if you didn’t catch the story earlier. While in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. We decided to take a day off from surfing to do something “naturey”. Believe it or not. Every local we asked for a waterfall to visit said “No Se.” No se? Come on this is Costa Rica. The place they filmed Jurassic Park(update: Yes! Jurassic Park was filmed in Kaui as well. You guy’s are a tough crowd. <wink>). Well I wouldn’t take that for an answer and did what any other nerd would do. GOOGLED. The only thing I could really find on Google was some Flickr Pictures that had minute descriptions. “Guanacaste waterfall”. Thanks, but where is it? After some further research I found a mention of a waterfall near Bagaces. I ran it by the crew and they said, ‘Why not.” Even though the waterfall was about 1:45 minutes away and we just had a satellite view of what looked like it could be the waterfall. We set out with hopes that a tico closer to Bagaces would know of this place. And they did. I present Llanos De Cortes, Costa Rica.

This was a lot steeper than it looked. But that didn’t stop Niki from traversing it. 17 weeks pregnant and still rock’n it.

As if jimmy wasn’t tall enough. He climbed up this rock to get a better view of the waterfall below.

When you came down to the bottom of the trail and around the corner this your first site of the waterfall.
Unreal. No charge, no crowd, no lines, no gift shop. Just us.

Behind this tree was another little waterfall. The tree was growing out of a pool and it reminded me of the fountain of the youth.

Jimmy was the first to head into the pool. Funny when he got to the center it was about 2 inches deep.

“Thanks Google.” You saved the day again. Love, Droze
