Blatts in Panama: Waterfall-o-rama in Boquete

You want waterfalls? You got it!  Boquete, Panama has 'em like Seattle has Starbucks:  there's one on every corner.

The Lost Waterfall hike of Boquete, Panama is a series of three powerful cascades.   The setting is like something out of an epic novel, traversing rolling mountains, muddy ups and downs and fording sparkling rivers.  

 It was like an obstacle course!   We raced past a 20 foot swath of red, fire ants, running over roots like our feet were on fire.  We pulled ourselves up by knotted ropes and skied down mud slides on our butts.  The water was icy cold, the rocks were slick, but we did it! 

 The slippery trail was challenging, especially at the start of our hike when the rains came down, but this is a very worthwhile way to spend a day (and $5 /pp)
