welcome to banos the adventure capital of ecuador
we're eric and sarah but before we tell you about banos we're gonna jump right into an activity
and i mean literally jump because eric's gonna jump off this bridge right now oh no
i'm surprisingly nervous though not surprisingly at all it's i've uh i've never bungee jumped
before so it feels weird to be doing this like for the first time in ecuador to be honest
we've been assured that it's very safe it's just a little bit of a drop
it's gonna be fun yeah it's gonna be a blast i'm actually really excited it's just gonna be insane
two seconds later
you can do it it's getting pretty real
this is one of those things it's just gonna be you just gotta jump
so high like it's gonna be crazy here we go
oh
i can't believe i'm doing this
oh my goodness
yeah baby holy cow that was insane sarah yeah i don't i don't think i'm gonna i
don't think i'm gonna be able to wipe the smile off my face today it's just like
honestly it's just crazy oh man it happened so fast but like i was gonna say yeah yeah literally
the video is only like two minutes yeah you just got up there and you went for it yeah well like
i was really scared i was really scared like when they put me up on the platform he kept being like
you know step forward step forward but it's like everything in your body is being like what are you
doing man like that's insane and so are you just full said yeah i would have been crapping my pants
hold on oh man like honestly i think that like probably one of the more scarier parts is when
you're just like swinging you're just like hanging there over the valley you're like holy crap like
crazy definitely definitely worth doing 20 bucks 20 bucks not bad totally
well that was a crazy morning i can't believe you did that i can't believe i did it either
honestly it's just insane oh it's wild yeah that's just the taste of what there all is
to do here in banos honestly you could spend weeks here and just do a different tour every single day
we're gonna try to pack in as much as we can in the next few days
and show you guys just kind of some different adventure tours that's right but
we won't get to it all so you just have to come here and see what there is for yourself all right
so like the town of banos isn't really super interesting there's not a whole lot going on like
there's some bars and restaurants and stuff on certain strips that is actually kind of nice when
you're staying in banos but as far as like doing things in banos there's not a whole lot to do
in the town all the activities are best done with tours and so today we're actually
gonna go up to the casa del arbol which is where the swing at the edge of the world is
so this is casa del arbol this is probably one of the most classic views in ecuador like this this
treehouse i think was one of the first swings in banos and now there's a bunch more swings
i think we might try and visit maybe one more of them but this is like the classic beautiful view
with a swing it's just amazing so we're gonna go on it
so
oh man this is so beautiful look at this view
it was so cloudy like half an hour ago and now just straight magic
this property is incredible now that it cleared up
so many gardens it's so beautiful oh man the sun just came out and it's amazing here all of a
sudden it was like completely socked in here yeah i absolutely cannot see anything and now you can
even see the volcano which you can't even normally see every day so cool so amazing excellent highly
recommend coming up here it only costs a dollar to come on the bus about 45 minutes on the bus
and only costs a dollar to get into this park so you really can't go wrong good morning day
two and banjos right new day and new activities so today we're gonna go uh white water rafting woohoo
and even though it was predicted to be rainy all week we woke up to beautiful blue sky so we're so
excited and so happy to do this it's gonna be really fun we've never been before that's right
no i've never done it i've never been before so it's gonna be awesome new experiences every day
i'm so excited
how's it feel ah like a glove like a glove looking good
wet suits we got nice shoes wow the shoes are so stylish so cute
what a model
yeah show me more
okay i'm gonna stop this now stop it like this should have been easier
how's that going
so we highly recommend doing tours when you're in your banos we went to the tree
house casa de arbol yesterday without a tour and honestly it was a bit complicated
to find the bus station to get up there everyone said everything was walking distance to the other
swings it was not so from now on we're just going through pailon travel to do all of our
tours and so far they've been really awesome we got all of our equipment included uh the shoes

and paparazzi take all the videos and pictures for us all the transportation's included we're
gonna have food included so highly recommend and these guys have so many different travels we don't
need to go through anyone else so we're gonna do all of our tours for them it's gonna be awesome
