Lago Sandoval

Micah was the only swimmer this day in Lago Sandoval which is home to alligators, piranhas, giant river otters, snakes, huge catfish (rumor has it they weigh up to 300 pounds!) and stingrays. With all these dangers I'm sure he was the only swimmer this month, maybe this year!

Micah next to jungle flower

These hanging flowers are plentiful on the trail to Lago Sandoval.

Godo on trail

Walking from the river it's an hour walk to get to Lago Sandoval. Here's Godo walking.
