La Piscina!!
We have finished the natural pool at the first waterfall. We made a wall on one side made of stone from the river and now we have a huge deep natural (almost) swimming pool under the waterfall. It is seven to eight feet deep and is spectacular!! The wall forms a reservoir from which we take water by tube 100 meters away to our hydroelectric wheel and dynamo in order to generate totally clean electricity for our needs.
The hydroelectric project is nearing completion after many delays and setbacks but it is giving new life to TierraMitica. It will allow us to cut the umbilical cord with Tarapoto, it will cut down the pollution and noise of the generator, we will be able to have electricity all day with no noise or cost of gasoline and it will power Okopua, Casablanca, the shamans tambo and many other places still to be built.
