What’s new and natural at La Joya del Sol – your jungle playground!

Rock, face, and body painting at the creek - 

All colors are found in clay pebbles on the scene.
This masterpiece created by Elisabeth Timpone, our intern.
And we opened a natural SUPER COOL POOL
We’ve seen monkeys, kinkajous, lots of exotic flowers, birds and butterflies on this green trail.
Pool is entirely spring water fed creek, drinkable with gentle cascade.
Pool can hold a large group of 10 or more.
Easy in and out, no climbing.
Great place to picnic in tranquil rainforest seclusion.
Red to blue to green trails, easy to find.
The Green rainforest trail continues upstream along the scenic jungle creekside to magnificent waterfalls and more cool pools terminating
at the power station..
Spa day… natural skin cleansing, exfoliation, and smoothing with clay fines rubbed on
