| did banos to puyo, including a hike down to some waterfalls... the trip was one of the best rides i have done, and a combination of paved and unpaved roads leading from the ecuadorian highlands down to the jungle... though the overall was mostly down (start 6600 feet, end 3000 feet) there was plenty of climb in there.. at the end it was dumping at full jungle extent, like someone is putting a waterhose over your head... overall a great day |
