So I've been in Buenavista for three days, and I felt really at home from the start; it reminds me a lot of some of those small mountain town in NC. Even the names are great: Buenavista means "Good Overlook" since it has such a nice view of the valley, and it's part of a series of communities that form a ring around the valley. Buenavista is between Paz y Progreso ("Peace and Progess"), Caballo Rucio ("Brave Horse") and Reyes Llano Grande ("Big Pasture of the Kings"). There's a dirt road that connects all the communities and I hike that for about 30 minutes from Buenavista to Reyes Llano Grande, which is where the nearest internet is. It's a great walk: lots of trees (banana, coffee, lime, orange, guayaba) and there are small cascades and creeks throughout.
*UPDATE* I just ran past a cascade this afternoon that HAS to be over three stories tall. I'll try to take a picture next time.
