Segunda Laguna Maccutto Trail•Tortuguero Lagoon Reserve

Nice little hike. Parking is hard to find. No parking near trail head and didn’t want to park in front of someone’s house. So we went up the road a little.
We went to the left as suggested and took a dip in the pool. It was rocky in the water and you have to scramble down to it. But is was crystal clear and a little cold but you adjust quickly. Lots of mountain bikers on the trail. Nice shade.
