It was great having the family and two of our grandkids visit for almost a month in July. They are growing up so fast and becoming their own persons. They, of course, wish to all those exciting things young people enjoy . They are offered in Banos , a small town about a 4 hour bus ride away .A place where many of those adventure they wished to enjoy could be found; Zip lining, climbing ,repelling, ATV driving, hot springs and a very,special, exciting Casa de Arbol. A big swing that gets your heart pounding as it carries you out over an incredible drop over the edge.
Brianna had researched Banos and planned our sojourn to ahead of time and was so excited to get there. Right away, off they went to repel down inside a waterfall. They did this by themselves as none of us adults were interested. We instead chose to take the sightseeing tour bus.
A very cute town
Lots of water falls
The bus ride took us to several waterfalls and overlooks of dramatic mountain scenery
Then came to several zip lines spanning deep gorges.
This was what the kids wanted, not me . However one was advertized as the longest in Ecuador so why not ,I thought to my self. So Off I went......
I suited up......
Safety check
Get Ready...... Pull back
Big push.........
....... and off I go
Seee meeee.... I am the white dot
Heading to the gray spot just in the bend of the river
No worries
The " Kids " got their ATV
We had fun with this .....
Off to the BIG swing
This girl is quite adventurous
Then Brother went
Then Mom
Then Granpa
We did have a wonderful day full of excitement
I think the swing over the cliff may be just a little unnerving! Looks like you had a wonderful time with your kids.
