During the beginning of March, we went on a weekend getaway to a local mountain town, Jarabacoa. The town is only about two hours away from Santiago, and is known for it's cool climate, agriculture, hiking, and beautiful waterfalls. It promised to be a reprieve from the hot spell we were having, and also a place where we could finally use our hiking boots!
The first day and a half, it rained, but when the sky opened up for a few hours, we took advantage of it. We hiked about 5 miles up a mountain road, and here was the view that we were rewarded with.
We were able to hike right down to the bottom of the waterfall. We were the only people around, as hiking in the drizzling rain apparently isn't popular here!
It was nice to be able to put on jackets and feel cool for a little while!
Back at the apartment, we got ready for another week by bottling the second five-gallon batch of homebrew. Mmmmm.
