Water Falling

Keith is much like one of those wind up tops. It takes a lot to load his spring, but once is loaded it spins constantly. Then, it usually spins hard until it flops. Well, not content with just seeing Banos, he's got a hankering for a ride. So he pops open his Lonely Planet book and find this tasty ride:

Waterfall Route from Baños to Puyo

This spectacular 61-kilometer road drops nearly 1,000 meters in elevation along the Pastaza Valley to the edge of the Oriente. There are nearly a dozen waterfalls along the newly christened Ruta de las Cascadas, which has developed into a major tourist attraction with several tarabitas (cable-cars) across the valley as well as a range of adventure sports.

There are three ways to see this route: You can hop on a Baños–Puyo bus and stop off at the waterfalls, take a guided tour, or the best option is to hire a bicycle and take in the scenery at your leisure and see how far you get toward Puyo.

I suppose that his intended transportation of a moto is better than a bicycle.

Suspending my life over a ravine on an itsy bity cable, I don't know if this should be the safety mechanism?

I never understood why people go to flat topography places like Florida to zip line. A place like Ecuador is made for this where there is no shortage of gravity!

Notice the bridge? Keith should hop right off that bike of his, and hike WAY.DOWN.THERE. It's likely not a minute over 30 mins on foot :D

The Frank Lloyd Wright house, Falling Water, has nothing on this house!

A room with a donkey. Seriously, it gets to wake up to that view every morning?
