Road to Puyo

Every day is some kind of adventure.
On this day, we had no idea where
we would be going specifically, just
knew we´d end up back in Baños by
night. The road to Puyo, with its
waterfalls, tunnels, views and
backroad attractions, was a
wonderful day trip with kids.

Summit of Tungurahua














At the top of the Casa del Arbol.











Blake and Nathan rode the cable basket
across the gorge. Blake said it was intense.
Nathan wanted to do it again.














In Puyo, Pedro took us to Parque Omaere,
a rainforest botanical garden run by an
American ornithologist and his Shuar wife.
We experienced a dramatic afternoon
rainshower under the shelter of thatched
roof. Taylor sketched a parrot in a tree.
