Alberto the Hermit

This is Alberto the Hermit. He lives alone in the hills of the Tisey National Reserve. Alberto is an artist. He’s been carving images & sculptures into the side of a cliff for over 30 years, and his life’s work is quite incredible. He is a bit crazy though…

      Another interesting person full of character that I’ve met along the way. I’m sure there will be many more to come, too. :)

    The Nicaraguan Einstein! He looks like a truly interesting character. Is that some of his work behind him on the wall?
