Laguna Azul

On Sunday, I visited the Laguna Azul (Blue Lagoon; renamed for marketing purposes from el Lago Sauce: Willow Lake). Getting there took a couple hours' drive in a van, with a stop in the middle to be ferried over a river:



Once there, we had lunch and some time to lounge around, before getting a tour of the lake.

In the middle of the tour, the weather changed rapidly; it was pouring down rain by the end.

Also, for a small fee you could hold a sloth.



(I felt bad for the sloth, and didn't want to hold it. It kept crying).
