I spent the Easter holidays in Mindo, a small town located a few hours from Quito, with a couple American friends. The highlight of the trip was riding a zipline through the rainforest canopy. Actually, 13 ziplines to be exact. It cost a whopping $13.
I rode one of the cables upside down. That was kind of scary.
Then we hiked through the forest to some waterfalls, including a stop for a different kind of swinging through the trees.
And to complete our swinging theme, we enjoyed fresh-squeezed fruit shakes at a swinging juice bar. Fun!
