Baños – A Place full of Adventures

Back in Baños we got some mountain bikes and started for our next destination “Pailon del Diablo” (Devil’s Cauldron), a huge waterfall. Following the Pastaza River almost all the way downstream, our group passed several places where you could do canopy, canyoning, rafting or bungee jumping. Luckily my friend convinced me to do canopy and although, in the beginning, I was a bit scared, it was one of the best things I have ever done. Everybody should at least once in their life experience what it means to fly! Screaming we flew over the Pastaza canyon and enjoyed the incredible feeling of freedom.

As we continued to the waterfall, heavy rainfall made for even more of an adventure. We looked as if we had already swum in the Pastaza River when we took the hundreds of steps down to the waterfall. Luckily the leaves of the rainforest’s plants were so big that they guarded us against the rain. The Devil’s Cauldron indeed is a highly impressive waterfall. It was even possible to climb to the back of the water mass where you could get even wetter.
