A Walk in the Woods

I took my youth group on a paseo to Huarapal, a national forest reserve, to learn about deforestation and see some waterfalls.

Two environmental students from the Universidad Nacional came along to teach the teens about the different plant species and their uses.

Of course, there was some time for swimming.

Waterfalls along the trail.

Tumbes: Where the dry forest meets the tropics. But it kind of reminded me of Minnesota river valleys in summertime.
