Ecuadorian Jungle

After spending time in the city and in the Andes we decided to spend a few day visiting the Jungle.

What a big change in weather, from crisp mountain air to thick humid jungle. Here we hiked to waterfalls, took a totally freaky trolly across an enormous valley and splurged for the 10 dollar zip line canopy tour of thirteen zip lines.




This thing is called a tarabita. it is a 4 seater cart that is driven by a car motor (stick shift and all) that takes you across an enormous valley. I have to say it was thrilling.


"Good thing this thing is wicked safe, that is a long way down!"
