Today, we visited Agua Blanca, a spring in the Machalilla National Park near Puerto Lopez.
Agua Blanca is a beautiful forest, wild animals everywhere and a type of sulfuric spring where people go to bath and cover themselves in mud that is believed to have some kind of anti-aging quality.
I already feel 25 again!
It’s about a three-kilometer hike through the forest to the spring … and it’s been very rainy this week and we have lots of mud.
Everybody loves the mud.
Especially the kiddos.
The swimming spring at Agua Blanca. It’s sulfuric qualities are said to reinvigorate a youthful feel.
Miss Ecuador 2013. Not really, but we played it up!
Mother-in-law’s tongue. It’s everywhere.
