Brotas Hike

The first day we were in Brotas, Kate and I doubled up on outdoor adventures. We went on a hike near a dam in Brotas. The dam had gone underutilized over the years, but a new focus on all things energy independence has started new focus on the dam and we saw how water funneled from the dam was creating hydroelectric power for Brotas and some other towns in the area.

Our hike involved walking along the river bank taking in the flora (very little fauna apart from mosquitos and a few frogs), but we did make 3 stops in the river where there were waterfalls. The waterfalls were all at least 30-50 meters wide with varying heights. We took some pictures, and of course went swimming at the bottom of the falls to cool off.
