Santa Rosa

On Monday we took a three hour bus ride to Santa Rosa for the thermal baths. Santa Rosa has the added bonus of having delicious, or as they call them there, exquisite chorizos.
The baths are property of a hotel, which charges non-guests 15 dollars to use the spa. What we saw when we got there were two waterfalls, one hot, one cold. I was confused about the hot waterfall but I eventually determined that they pump the hot water down from further up the mountain and just make it look like a waterfall. We tried to climb up to the source but we were walking on steep, slick ground and decided it wasn´t worth it.
We spent a couple of hours alternating between floating around in the hot water and running to the cold waterfalls. It was good for our muscles after the four hour horse ride.
On the way back through town we had some exquisite chorizos for dinner and then went home.

It may look like Brad is prancing into the waterfall, but he's just being careful on the rocky bottom

This was our transporation from Santa Rosa to the hotel
I found this dog on the bus, Brad wouldn't let me keep it
