Las Celestes Waterfall is located La Yeguada on a private farm and although, I do not the reason of its name, I think it is due to its color.
After we knew Las Damas Waterfall it was time to get to know Las Celestes,
They are really close to each other, more or less 20 minutes by 4×4 car. It is necessary a 4×4 car to go there, if you do not have one or you plant to hike, from La Yeguada Lagoon takes about 3 hours.
Once we arrived, we got out the cars, we only hiked 5 minutes and we reached to the first one. The guide told me they are approximately 20 waterfalls, we saw 3.
It is only 5 minutes by hiking, but the hard part of the trail is between the middle trail and the height trail, the all way is going down, but there is a part where we had to go down sitting, it is not necessary to have a lot good condition, but you have to go up and down there.
Las Celestes Waterfall
We arrived at the first waterfall, it is very nice and it has an amazing light blue color, the majority stayed at this one.
But some went down to the next one, I took advantage of the fact that there were fewer people to take photos of the waterfall, so I went down with them.
From that spot, I was seen that the other was coming and there was a beautiful fog in the background.
Then I went back to the first waterfall to enjoy it before going to the next spot.
There was a boy in the tour, he wanted to jump into the waterfall, we all were waiting for the jump, some with cameras even his mom and after waiting so long, we thought he had already repented and in a moment, he jumped, hahaha, nobody looked at him, took photos nor anything.
We returned to the cars and continued, although it was really close, you could go by hiking. We went out of the cars and hiked for about 3 minutes.
Be careful with the roots, they are good to hold on, but bad to step on, because there can be slippery.
This waterfall is higher, I love it when It is formed a natural pool, not only because how you can see it, yet.
Personally, I enjoy it more, I try to swim, hahaha, I really just float. Some people jumped (on the deep part), others took photos, we had a great time.
Back
Then it was time to return, and as usually hahaha I was the last to return, because I stay to wait for everyone to leave so I can take a pair of pictures of the waterfall without people.
Then we returned to take the bus and having lunch, we ate at La Yeguada, in a house.
We had a lunch reserved, I think there is no restaurant until Calobre.
We returned to Albrook at 11 pm, the majority took advantage to rest on the bus.
I advise you to bring a comfortable change clothes, but it you can carry a coat it is better, because if the travel at night, it can be cold in the bus.
I traveled in a light dress and after a few hours someone let me a coat, I imagine I had frozen face, hahaha.
Note: after Calobre there is only Movistar phone service. The order of the falls I wrote it as saw them.
