Exploring Esperanza

Yesterday we explored the area around the village of La Esperanza (the Hope) with several of the local youth. We hiked to this perfect picnic spot, checked out the river, and ended up at a really cool cave.

The river is busting at the seams right now after 15 days of straight rain we recently had.

At one point we had to take off our shoes and wade through the water to make it to the mouth of the cave. It was a beautiful sunny day (a welcome change to all the rain) and we enjoyed getting to know a little more of this beautiful country.
