Our Secret Spot of Senenity
Still, at Paquil Laguna, I will share a secret spot we have been going to in this Eco-park. Away from the crowd, a natural pool covered with trees and a place where you could find peace.
To follow our adventure you could check the previous parts of this series.

Our secret spot can be found along this trail or you could walk along the river. Walking along the river is hard as there are a lot of slippery rocks along the way. Following the trail is much easier and you could just enjoy all the plant life around the area.
There are also a lot of plants that have harmoniously grown on trees. If you just look closer around you a lot of ornamental plants can be found here in the jungle.
The current of the river is not that strong and you could swim your way to our secret spot. My niece didn't want more adventure so he used the river trail instead.
After a couple more minutes we reached our secret spot. It has been years since we discovered this spot. I am glad that I still remember where it was. Trees cover this natural pool area and the middle part is just deep enough to relax like a jacuzzi.
Here there are no noisy crowds around and the water is cleaner since we are on the upper part of the river. People are not interested in taking a couple of minutes to walk up to this point. Unlike us adventurers and the effort always has its rewards.
With just the sound of the wind, flowing water and the beauty of nature. Here you will find peace and serenity.
Last time that we visited we made a zen pile and of course, we had to do it again. Zen pile symbolizes order in the chaos around us. Giving us balance in mind and body. A place for meditation and I guess this is the perfect spot to release all that stress and the burdens of life.
My brother-in-law enjoying his time here. This is his first time visiting this place and he was very happy that he came along.
I did a photoshoot for the couple two years ago. This place is perfect and couldn't help doing a couple of shots for them.
Here is the family enjoying their time here. We spent just an hour here and I wish it could have been longer. Imagine coming out of your house and just jumping in the river anytime that you want. Heal your body, mind and soul with the calming sound of the running water.
All things come to an end but something to look forward to every time we visit Laguna. Maybe it's time for you too to visit a river and just let it wash away all that burden that you have been carrying.
Thank you for joining us today and I hope you enjoyed this peaceful time with us in nature.
Hope to see you again soon.
