The story behind the photo šā¦
Have you ever seen this famous spot? Itās one of the images that 1st intrigued me to explore Ecuador.
š”āLa Casa del Arbolā & the āSwing at the End of the Worldā
I REALLY wanted to see this ātree houseā in person, but did NOT want to experience the awful lines Iād seen. So we did a little research and scored š. We enjoyed one of the best mornings at this mini adventure park, seemingly to ourselves.
Hereās what we did:
šWe did NOT take a group tour (only to arrive with massive crowds).
š We did NOT take a busāalthough just $1, the local bus only visits 3x per day (hours after opening).
š We paid a taxi $10 and arrived right at opening - 9am ( plan for a 20 min ride š).
š„¾Another (free) option - leave early and hike from Banos! Prepare for 2,100 ft (800m straight up)
Personally, we thought it was quite magical, but can also see how everyoneās experience will vary significantly. We likely would NOT have felt the same if weād spent an hour++...
