Tree Tops of Teresopolis

Teresopolis The many fingers of Teresopolis We decided to have a break from the city and head in to the mountains for a few days staying at Teresopolis. Teresopolis is a small town that on a quick google search promised a number of fun sights to see, and of course a fun hike into the mountains. The first day we gathered our trusty satchel and headed to the information centre to get some information on how to enter the park and for a few things to do, we stopped at one of the trusty sights the fountain of Judith on the way. The fountain was quite Dutch in style, mostly porcelain tiles with a blue flowery nun on them. Lots of the local used this fountain to fill up their own water bottles. There was very little information at this location but we assume this saint made drinking water in a land where the tap water was bad. Perhaps she was the first to filter water with her stockings, perhaps she secretly boiled the water with her wrath behind her fount we will never know.
