Baños

The next day I went ziplining across this really pretty river. It was scary at first but also really fun and the views were so beautiful.

At the end of the bus ride, we didn´t know there was going to be a 45 minute hike to go see another waterfall and we were all really unprepared. I was wearing flip flops and it was raining on and off. It was also starting to get dark so on the way back we ended up having to hike in the pitch black. These are my friends Kelly and Andres attempting to hike in the dark.


We took this bus around and since we were surround by a bunch of mountains we had to go through a lot of tunnels like this which were pitch black and kind of scary.



A couple weeks ago I went to Baños for the weekend which is a small town about 3 hours from Quito. It´s called Baños because of the warm thermal baths they have there that occur naturally from the Volcanos close by. The area is really pretty and there are a ton of waterfalls. The day we got there we went on a tour to see all the waterfalls and made a couple stops along the way. This is a picture of one of the waterfalls.
