Agua Caliente

A group of us from Monkey Bay, fourteen in all, planned a little excursion to an agua caliente (hot springs). This one is about one half way along the northern shore of Lago Isabel or about 12 or 13 miles from Fronteras. We each brought our own drinks and most of us bought fried chicken in town to take for our lunch. We caught a collective, a mini van which dropped us off near the entrance to the agua caliente. While a collective is crowded, it is very inexpensive. The agua caliente was great for swimming. It consisted of a stream flowing by with cool, but definitely not cold water, with a waterfall cascading into it from the hot spring. The spring water was extremely hot, so the water in the pool below the falls was quite warm. Just upstream the water was much cooler. It was a fun outing. Luckily when we hiked back out the collective (same guys) had guessed when we would be done and had parked under a shade tree to wait for us.
