Cascada y Carnival en Santiago

The road to Cascada Sol de Mayo
The Sol de Mayo casitas by the cool pool and waterfall are run by elegant Priciliano, and Cosme is the always smiling restaurant cook. This serene and eco-friendly place has recently been developed. The pretty rental casitas are modern and affordable, with great valley views.

The water is fresh and cool, and schools of little fish tickle us and nibble our toes if we keep still enough.

 










We choose the older white casita nearest the natural pool

Happy Hour at the casita

Fast friends, Janine and Elizabeth

 

















Now it's time for the carnival in Santiago town, with its rickety rides, Norteno music and cocktails in plastic cups...

Super Hombre!




Super Hombre rides!



Los ninos ride!

We ride!
Music plays




We marvel at ugly dolls!
   




We eat!

We drink!

We ride some more!
