Las Grietas





Today we took the water taxi over to Las Grietas and walked to the crystal clear aqua blue pond nestled in between lava rocks. The water is brackish and it is a breeding area for parrot fish that are trapped there until a big tide can carry them out to sea. The water was freezing cold but extremely refreshing. We had time to sit on a rock and eat our picnic lunch consisting of roast beef sandwiches. It was a slow walk out over lava rocks and along a beautiful sandy beach. Wildlife was abundant and we stopped along the way to check our herons and small waders feeding by the shore.
