Green Canyon
This is a beautiful part of the world where multitudes of wide, clear rivers wind their way through thick tropical jungle before emptying into the Indian Ocean - emerging out of rich delta wetlands that pierce the seemingly endless black sand beaches of the coastline. As you can probably guess from its name, it is a canyon and, yes, it is green. The river that leads into the Canyon is a bright, dazzling green that reflects the green moss growing on its rocky banks. As we left the boat behind, we swam deeper into the dark green Canyon covered in stalagmites, moss and other vegetation. At one point, a land bridge completely covers the Canyon with water dripping down from above, definately the coolest shower we have ever taken. The foliage covering the Canyon is a canopy of green fractals against the bright sky which is best viewed as you float on your back and let the current of the river take you where it will. We also could bathed in a waterfall which according to local legend is said to be The Fountain of Youth but taking a look at the old woman renting inner tubes at the base of the waterfall, we highly doubt its potency.
