Las Estacas

On Saturday, we headed south to a spa/river park/campground that actually turned out to be amazing! It was so well put together, clean and beautiful. There was a spring-fed river flowing through the park, inner tubes for rent, cheap beer, and good friends. We had a great time.

 This super-helpful map was inside the park...
...not on their website! Also, the roads do not appear on any GPS, so we may or may not be returning.

 Crystal clear waters and non-scary seaweed!

One of the many activities was diving for ice-cold "river-mangos".
Autumn quickly showed her natural talent for collecting these little gems.
She also made friends with one of the kids that came with us, and dubbed his boat the S.S. Mango. 

 Jungle paradise!

 Taking a break from snorkeleando.

 Palm-tastic!

 Ahh...
...relaxing in the shade!

 Autumn had a little trouble staying on her tube, much to the joy of the locals!

 Fishys, fishys everywhere!
These seemed to be relatives of the mighty goldfish, but one of our compatriots was positive from the description, that they were most definitely PIRANHAS!!

 The "seaweed" was kind of like underwater evergreens with tiny flowers and BUBBLES!!

 I love Mexico's lack of safety measures!
Yes, this"swing" was just a stick tied to a branch with a long rope, but there was a lifeguard too....perfectly safe!!

 Autumn even got in on the action!

 Goodbye Las Estacas!
We'll miss you!!

 And finally, U-N-I-C-O-R-N statue!!

Just kidding it was a guy riding a horse holding a poorly placed sword.
