Sunday June 2, 2013

Sunday morning after breakfast we made our way to another biological reserve where we went hiking to see waterfalls.  It was beautiful!  We had the opportunity to swim in the waterfalls but it was way too cold.

We literally hiked all day long.  It was a lot of work but definitely worth it!
This little car took us across an open valley to the other side of the reserve.

Our view.

The path we hiked on.

Little did we know we would have to climb back up these steps later.

Hearts of palm grow around here. 

Ecuador is known for having many different types of orchids.  This is one type.

The group on our walk.

Our first waterfall.  

Enjoying the views!


This was our tour guide.  He owns the land and the hotel we were staying in.  He went into every waterfall in his khakis and button down shirt. 



Our guide showing us how the waterfall can be a natural neck massager.  

We were able to swim here but the water was still freezing!
