We are now in Banos, we got here by a public coach which took three hours! First we explored the town and had lunch, after Carlos took us on a "little" hike (it took 3 hours to get up and back down again with a 60 degree incline!!!) But the view was amazing all throughout. Both lunch and dinner were amazing and the culture here is fascinating. The second day in Banos was kicked off with a buffet of food including fruit and pink rice crispsies. We took a private minibus with our driver, Osso. He took us along the scenic route which included views of all the mountains and waterfalls. We took a cable across a canyon which many found terrifying but everyone gave it a go. After that we were taken to a waterfall and got VERY close, so many of us became drenched! After that we went to a place which many call "the swing off the edge of the world" again everyone tried it and had so much fun even though it was scary. We then came back to Banos town and got a tour of the fruit and veg market and a tour around the church. We are about to head off to dinner.
The next week we will be in the jungle with no internet so don't expect any blog at all. We will be back in contact as soon as we can. Everyone is having an amazing time :)
