Hiking Camino Al Aguajal


Early verdant views on the Camino Al Aguajal Hike. (Aguajal is the name of the palm tree seen throughout this walk)


Another early morning view on the hike.


This face-like arboreal visage is really a tumor on a giant jungle tree.


According to local legend, touching this bulbous tree adornment while pregnant can result in birth defects. Though the local women are still convinced, there is no scientific evidence that anything about this bulb would result in birth defects.


Though not its official title, this Snake Tree is called the Gringo Tree, so named because its bark resembles the peeling skin of a gringo with a sunburn. So say Freddie our guide.


One of many amazing glimpses caught on the Loboyoc Creek wander.
