Day 7 - Villa Los Aires... up up and in the clouds!

View of the open air lobby looking back at the house over the pool... OMG!

The view from the pool out toward the rainforest valley


The early rise brought a different view of the landscape of the mini hotel that we have all to ourselves - clouds in the valley, toucans in the trees along with parakeets and hummingbirds to name a few. We took a walk to an amazing waterfall on the property that probably had about 159 steps in the jungle to get down to the pool of it. We felt the effects of the hot and steamy temperature of the forest and made our way back to the house to then take a drive into the town of Dominical. An extremely simple town of huts that is geared toward surfers with a pothole ridden main road, we found a market in the tree line along the shore of the Atlantic where we could purchase anything from Jimmy Hendricks t-shirs to indigenous wooden masks... oye. We went to the extremely rough shore where we witnesse ALOT of surfer dudes young and old. After a cool lunch that we didn't want to end, we headed back to our villa in the hills to chill in the pool... tomorrow brings more beach and exploration...
