Or as locals call this cascading bathing river oasis, ‘Los Baños del San Juan’. It is one of the attractions in Las Terazzas, a nature preserve area not too far away from Havana.
Blondine and I managed to survey the area and we were not really sure if we would want to bathe in the surging waters. Further ahead of the river we could see some litter floating and the waters suddenly turning murky green on some parts. Hmm, we have our reservations.
It might be a good idea to waddle in the waters if you are high up on the cascading falls, and not at the bottom of it. Surely not where the waters are still. The logic, of course, is that water is cleaner from higher ground. The force of the water falling down will bring all debris and whatever litter to the lowest end of the stream.
Nevertheless, this is not our cup of tea… but this place sure does look like a popular hangout with the local people. We saw a number of families with children enjoying a bath. The children especially were having a lot of fun with the cascading waters.
We did not stay long and were back in the car looking for other places in Las Terazzas to explore and experience.
Here are the pictures of course:
