Day of Adventures- Baños Ecuador

volcano erupting at breakfast

           Today we woke up bright and early to go white water rafting.  At breakfast we were startled with a loud "BOOM," then we had realized it was the volcano erupting with smoke, which we had a perfect view of.  It was a pretty cool experience.

   It had rained all through the night, and I´ve never gone white water rafting so I was a bit nervous when I saw the speed of the water.  After going over safety instructions, we were in the water and zipping down the level 3 and level 4 rapids.  At one point we had to get out because there was a large hole and it would have been too hard for us to get through.  It was so much fun, we wish that we had booked it for the whole day and we really enjoyed the people we went with.

       

            After white water rafting for half the day, we signed up to go zipling through the jungle.  It was a total of 6 lines and 2000 meters long.  The longest zip we went on was over waterfalls and through trees and rocks, it was 550 meters long.  It was so beautiful, I loved it, and it was not as scary as when I went the first time.
