Waterfall | Volcán Barú National Park, Panama
While in Panama, we spent 1 afternoon and 1 night in the Volcán Barú National Park, which neighbours La Amistad International Park, a park spanning across the Panama-Costa Rica border. We would all like to have stayed longer as the area was very beautiful, with amazing landscapes and (near-)pristine forest. Reaching the area is quite difficult, and the last part involved driving for about 40 minutes along the roughest road I’ve ever been on in a car (which the tractor (!), on the way up, and 1980s Toyota Land Cruiser, on the way down, could only handle at a lowly pace of ~5km/h). We arrived quite late in the afternoon, and only had time for a 1-hour long hike. This gave us a good taste of the impressive nature though.
This waterfall was one of about 3 we saw on our short hike, but also the one I liked most. If you pay close attention, you can just about make out the muddy path on which we walked, coming down along the rocks and over the branches at the top right of the picture. I’m pretty happy with how this picture turned out, particularly considering it was getting quite dark and that the picture was taken handheld at a slow shutter speed.
As always, comments welcomed!
