Across The Pond (BC and the Americas 2015)
The Cascadas de Agua Azul (Spanish for "Blue-water Falls").
This waterfall consists of many cataracts following one after another as can be seen in the picture, taken from near the top of the sequence of cascades.
The water has a high mineral content. Where it falls on rocks or fallen trees it encases them in a thick shell-like coating of the limestone.
During much of the distance the water descends in two streams, with small islands in the middle.
There were a few safe swimming areas mainly at the top which were just like calm ponds, cold but fun.
