Agua Azul - "Blue Water"

Layers of water plummeting down on more layers of water, plummeting down upon more layers of water...

These falls started higher than I could see and were wide along the belt right before they pounded into a tranquil pool of water where Mexican families (whose license plates suggested were from neighboring states of Tabasco and Oaxaca) enjoyed the cooling feel of the water on the hot day. The water itself was marbled with clear blue and a light brown, where the mud was stirred up with the crystal water.

Climbing up along the side of the water the noise got louder and louder while never becoming overwhelming. The further we climbed the less people we encountered and the more serene the atmosphere became as we found little falls nestled in between trees that allowed only speckles of light through. These little falls will soon reach the thundering drop of water below, but for the time being there was nothing but tranquility.
