Mood: thriving in Baja

If you ever go to Ecuador ..


avoid Peldaños del Cañón in Pailon del Diablo , Ecuador.
Designed to descend to the bottom of one of the most famous waterfalls in South America, along the way, you are lost in the fog in many cases. It is extremely slippery and steep for tens of meters to a lookout where you can see a dramatic effect, accompanied hummingbirds,gulls and other local birds.

Visited Ecuador many years ago and can't say I am sorry I missed that! It is beautiful, but count me among the faint of heart.

I wouldn't be walking down... I'd be going down those steps on my butt!

It is spectacular though... thanks for sharing!

You wimp! De Niro scaled those falls while dragging 2 suits of armor.

I have done exactly that when visiting the Maya ruins --- at first some people laughed, but then a few others who like me, climbed the ruins and then realized the trip down was scary, joined me on the trip down on our butts!

Proud to be a wimp! :biggrin::biggrin:
