The vegetation of the lush Sierra extends up to the beaches, the wind is strong and fishermen struggle every day against the wild waves to take their boats out to the sea.
The mist constantly moisturizes this jungle paradise.
From the Sierra numerous rivers flow into the sea and along the Palomino region there are many river mouths where it is a pleasure to be swayed by the soft and sweet current of the river to jump afterwards into the spirited waves of the sea.
Behind those mountains in the photo are the snow-capped peaks which unfortunately would not be disclosed to our view.
Palomino is a very beautiful place. Still wild despite being increasingly present in the radar of many foreign and national travellers.
In front of the beach was La Sirena, the fabulous hostel where we stayed. We slept in hammocks under a thatched roof of woven palm and every morning a puppy would wake us up to go and play on the beach.
During the day we walked to the mouth of a river and then we took long naps on the beach.
In the evenings a little rum and all the constellations up in the sky.
I loved this vacation because of the company, the new friends we made and their diverse ways of living, the beauty of Nature and above all because from time to time I need to go back to basics: T-shirts and a toothbrush, water, fish, sleeping outdoors, not looking in the mirror, feeling the discomfort and re-adapting to become free again from too much urban comfort.
