Turquoise Dreams & Jungle Screams

#summervacay Okay, so Falls near Luang Prabang? Absolute waterfall goals. You show up thinking “cool, a waterfall,” and then layer after layer of dreamy turquoise pools just chillin’ in the jungle like some secret paradise. It looks fake. Like, Pinterest-level fake. The water is icy but super refreshing, especially after melting in Laos’ heat. You can totally swim in the lower pools, and it’s got that “look at me I’m in a travel brochure” kinda feel. Bring a towel, and maybe prepare to scream a little when you jump in, it’s cold. The main fall is huge and dramatic and makes you feel like a tiny jungle bean. The walk up is shaded and easy, plus there’s a bear rescue center on the way (yep, moon bears just hanging out being cute). It’s touristy but honestly? Still magical. Don’t skip it. Take the tuk tuk, grab a coconut on the way, and spend a few hours pretending you live there. Jungle luxury on a backpacker budget.
