So today was a blast! We had our 3.5 hour eco hike and man was it intense! A group of 5 of us hiked all the way from San Marcos la Laguna to Casa del Mundo, a crazy hotel/restaurant on the lake. We traversed 5 waterfalls, scaled a few rocky cliffs, and climbed a few hills of death.
We had a delicious lunch and relaxed on one of the balconies and planned on taking a lancha back across the lake to San Juan. But we had so much fun that we got lost in conversation with various hotel guests and by the time we were ready to leave, it was 6:30pm, dark, and pouring rain! Liza, Caitlin, Mitielle and I waited by the dock until 8pm looking for the last boat that was on its way from Pana. If we didn’t catch that boat, we would be stranded.
After lots of waiting and using Liza’s flashlight to signal SOS, the lancha finally arrived and we got back home safely!
