Photographer's Note
‘Isla Ometepe - Cascada San Ramσn’
The 40 m. waterfall San Ramσn has already been presented on TE by Ana Dores almost two years ago.
You can reach the fall by a trail of 3,7 km. that starts near the Estaciσn Biolσgica de Ometepe on the southern part of the island.
The last part of the trail is not so easy, you climb over large boulders in a little stream and at the end it goes a bit steep.
At the time Ana wrote that it was possible to make the walk in about two hours. Don’t ask me how much time I needed :). Again sweating and sighing because it was pretty hot.
During the trip I met several other hikers who were already on their way back. They cheered me up by telling that under the fall there was a natural pool with cool water and you could refresh yourself in it.
Close to the end I walked under the foliage and in the shade and it became less hot.
But to my great surprise the water of the pool wasn’t warm at all and standing under the falling water it was even quite cold. How was that possible in the tropics in the warmest month of the year?
So no long relaxation in the water ... :)

Hallo Paul,
Een prachtige foto van deze hoge waterval, de mensen links geven een goede indruk van de afmetingen. De mix van rotsen en de groene kleuren van de planten die ze begroeien is heel mooi, vooral in dit zachte licht.

Hello Paul
Great note and presentation. The included two at the bottom really show the immense size of the falls. Great saturation and colors.

Hello Paul, The tourist trap in Workshop looks quite nice but probably is not worth the entrance fee. and do not deserves the main upload. Wonderful view of this high waterfall. Pity that the water was cold. Nice view of the tiny figures, they indicate the scale.
I looked also at the picture by Ana. And I find it funny that the next week I will probably see a similar waterfall and also one shown by Ana Dores. Strange, isn't it?
Kind regards Malgo

Hello Paul,
It's a nice waterfall but not really spectacular. The two persons standing on the ground mean as much to the photo as the water itself, and the note means even more. The description of your trek through the jungle makes the photo more exciting than if we had been told you got here by car. However, the photo is well taken and the WS2 reveals that you are never protected from tourist traps anywhere.
Best regards,
Gert

Dag Paul,
Alle drie uw foto's zijn afzonderlijke mooie beelden.
Natuurlijk de waterval is de echte blikvangeer
Het geluid moet oorverdovend zijn op deze afstand.
Schitterend foto werk, bedankt.
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hello paul,
The temperature of the water surprised you and I remember having a similar experience when we were suffering from extreme in Wales and waded into a running stream to cool off! WE lasted a few seconds as the water was so cold!
This is a spectacular waterfall.
We just love to experience features like this and, even after a very exhausting journey, feel a job well done when we reach it!
I'm glad that you were able to include some figures to confirm the scale!
I'm sure you were more satisfied with the waterfall than the warm spring pool!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Good morning Paul,
Awesome cascade and superbly scaled by the people at its foot.
I can only guess iot gets much more water in the wet season, still lot's of greenery all around that indicate this.
Taken from a faie distant point to include the most of the sight.
Have a nice new day,
Ike
*** The hill above Castellammare in Sicilia ius a very well know spot for photographers. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Paul
its cliche to say, but its so true...good to have the people standing at the bottom left, makes your shot that much better.
The water wouldn't seem so cold after some time in it :)
but I know what you mean. It was a difficult hike for you but i'm sure in the end it was worth the effort and time right?
this is beautifully dramatic, love the punch of lime green. I'd hike it for sure :) cheers

Hello Paul
That cool pool sounds wonderful. There was no such pool at Butterfly Bay in Turkey so I had to cool off in the sea when I had returned from a very hot and humid hike. The people add scale. Tfs!

Hi Paul,
very impressive waterfall, it reminds me one which I had a pleasure to see on Hawaii, it had a similar atmosphere around.
Great lush vegetation surrounds the waterfall. Good that we also see some people which help us to imagine the scale. I have checked now that the waterfall which I mentioned (Waimoku Falls) was 120m high -so three times higher than this one. But from a distance they looked the same :)
Beautiful work, you show one more interesting aspect of this attractive destination,
M

Hello Paul.
Nature is powerful in this place, the wall looks like rock but lichens and small plants adhere to them, beautiful waterfall although it does not carry much water, it seems that to the left when there is more water also falls there.
Good perspective of the image, very pleasing to the eye.
Colorful, sharpness and luminosity are captured efficiently.
Very good composition, magnificent presentation.
Have a good weekend.
Warm greetings.
Luis.

Hello, Paul!
I've been away these days, so I've lost some of your photos of Nicaragua. This waterfall looks beautiful and imposing! The tones of green are wonderful and the presence of the people gives scale to it. Very nice job!

here in my region usually we have some hot days during winter and if you enter in the water of some river it is very cold because the night is cold. nice view of these falls, looks it has not so much water, but it beautiful anyway.
take care
jorge
