Boeri Lake and Fresh Water Lake

Not many people travel up to these two lakes, however John and I thought they were well worth the hike. The Fresh Water Lake is a man made lake whereas the Boeri is natural. The Fresh Water Lake was not at all spectacular as some of the other areas we have see here, but everything is so untouched here. I think the fact that everything is not developed here adds a different kind of beauty to it. I mean on the way up here we traveled on a one way, winding, twisting road that is not even finished yet. The drive up here was an experience in itself. After traveling up the Fresh Water Lake we hiked another 45 minutes into Boeri Lake, and I must admit the whole hike was worth it just for this lake alone. The hike up to Boeri was fantastic! You start out underneath the jungle canopy and gradually climb wooden steps that were put in place some years ago. The climb is mild going up and down, and up and down. The hike was foggy and misty most of the way but that only served to cool us down because the days are indeed getting hotter here. As you go down the mountains in the jungle we came across several little waterfalls and rivers, and the water was soooo clear. It was incredible! Everything was so peaceful. Once we reached the lake the fog had set in right on top of the lake providing a very interesting affect for photography. We had a great time, and the trip to Boeri was well worth the effort.
