Wow. That's the most accurate word I can use to describe my trip this weekend to Baños, a small town near the Tungurahua Volcano that's about a 5-hour bus ride from Quito. I went with a group of people that I didn't know very well, but I am SO glad I went to this beautiful, adventure-packed, piece of heaven on Earth. I got closer to Monica, my friend in the picture above, who I hold really close to my heart. I also did so many things that I had never done (nor imagined I would do) before, and saw absolutely breath-taking waterfalls. I enjoyed every minute of my time there. Paílón del Diablo"Paílón del Diablo" means "Cauldron of the Devil," and it is an incredible waterfall a little bit of a drive out from Baños. It is 80 meters (over 260 ft) high, and we were able to see it by going on the Chiva tour that takes you all throughout Baños to see all the waterfalls in the area. On one of the stops on the Waterfall Chiva tour, Monica and I went canopying upside-down. At first I was super nervous but it ended up being an amazing memory that I will never forget.
