ImpressionsImpressions

• This place exudes calm and serenity• People move about quietly, there is no

noise even from the children. Once in a while there is a giggle. The sand is white. The water is deep purple and deliciously cold against bare skin.

• The people are friendly and appears to live in harmony with the nature of the rainforest.
