After all the punishment our muscles, skin and egos took climbing at Rodellar, I started to question which I enjoyed most: the climbing or the swimming. We spent many of our rest days exploring the swimming holes located along the Rio Mascun. The water was frigid, and jumping in was totally exhilarating. The water was normally a clear emerald green. Unfortunately, these pictures were taken the day after a thunderstorm, and the water is cloudy.
A few weeks into our trip, our Russian neighbors in camp told us of a swimming hole with "warm water and a waterfall." We jumped in the car with our Australian and British friends to find this rumored paradise. What we found exceeded our expectations. El Salto at Al Berge is the ultimate rest day location. It hosts a deep swimming hole, water of a comfortable temperature, and El Salto (The Jump). There is even a restaurant if you need coffee, beer, or food.
