Cliff Jumping Waterfalls - Chilling in Santa Teresa
From the first couple of days that we arrived in Costa Rica we heard rumors about there being a cliff jump above a waterfall into a swimming hole. Naturally, we were intrigued and made it a point to seek this thing out. Well, we found this waterfall in Montezuma, on the Nicoya Peninsula, and conquered the thing. At least we thought we owned it until the locals showed up and started swan diving the 40 and 65 foot drops of the first and second waterfalls. We did end up throwing down some dives from about 35 feet (scary), but none of the gringos hanging out even considered hiking down to the 65 footer. It was, in a word: sketchy.
-We'll try to post a video of us jumping the falls when we get more time or preferably some free internet. From Montezuma we headed down the coast to Santa Teresa, a surfing town Rory's buddy Steve lived in for a month. This place is so laid back that all we wanted to do was mellow out in hammocks, read on the beach, and walk up and down the muddy road (which made for some very acrobatic falls). We did give surfing a try, but got thrashed by the rocks, and quickly scampered back to the beach with our tails between our legs. But at least we gave it a shot. More thumbnails ...
