Today, we were lucky enough to head out of town to a nearby hiking and water hole called Poço Azul, or Blue Well. Bumping along unpaved roads about 45 minutes from Brasília, we came to the park entrance and began to make our way down a dusty, red path towards the valley and waterfalls. The baked soil of the high plains made way to surprisingly blue waterfalls and a running river. We hiked through and up and around, catching views of the landscape and also stopping to watch the locals dive from some of the cliffs into the water. It was a great trip out to see the area and get a sense of place, even if we all came back a bit dehydrated, sunburned, and spent after traipsing around in the full heat of the unrelenting "winter" sun.
