Rivers and Legends of Puriscal’s Paradise
 |
| Rio Viejo Waterfall |
Our property in Puriscal is cradled by rivers that weave through the land, ever-changing with the seasons. In February’s dry season, this waterfall, marking one of our borders, still flows with surprising vigor. Its cascade, framed by lush greenery, is a favorite subject for my photography, capturing the timeless beauty of our slice of paradise.

| Rio Viejo Gorge |
To the left of the waterfall lies a striking gorge, its shallow riverbed exposed in the dry season, as seen in this photo. Once a deep, popular swimming spot in years past, the now-visible rocks tell a story of nature’s ebb and flow. The scene’s rugged beauty inspires my lens to document the land’s quiet transformations.

| Rio Viejo Bat Cave |
Tucked in Rio Viejo, the famous bat cave holds whispers of history. Step inside, and piles of bat guano greet you, a sign of its lively inhabitants. Local tales recount how this cave sheltered people during Costa Rica’s 1948 civil war, adding a layer of intrigue to its shadowy depths, perfectly captured in this photograph.
