La Cascada - Paperback

by William D. Jr. Van Atta (Author)

La Cascada is a thrilling episode from William D. Van Atta Jr.'s ongoing memoir series, capturing a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the rugged beauty of the Dominican Republic. What begins as a father-son mission to collect gold samples from a hidden mountain pool quickly unfolds into a daring adventure-complete with jungle treks, river crossings, armed escorts, and nights spent sleeping in plastic bags beside the thunder of a towering waterfall. With rich storytelling and deep emotional resonance, Van Atta brings to life the tension, wonder, and unexpected joy of venturing far from the comforts of home. La Cascada is more than a gold hunt-it's a story of grit, wonder, and the unshakable bond between father and son, set against the rhythm of cascading water and the wild spirit of the mountains.
