Baños

Highlights:
- Really nice hostel that was incredibly cheap - we originally booked for 2 nights and extended another 2
- A chill time with lots of cafe trips for hot chocolate and cakes
- Visiting Casa de Arbol which was a little tacky but a lot of fun for an hour! It featured a few insta posing places, a small zip line, and best of all a massive swing. A worker offered to push us and we got more than we bargained for when he was leaping up with the swing to push it and spinning us around as we went!
- White water rafting was terrifying (especially as 2 of our 7 fell out in the second rapid and it was chaos) but we had so much fun in the end and it was a very cheap place to try it out!
- Relaxing in the thermal baths, including hot and very hot pools!
- An easy bus ride and short hike to a stunning waterfall which made for a nice afternoon stop

Lowlights:
- We had a bit of a fiasco with bus tickets for the next place as it was supposed to take 7 hours but due to a landslide now took 10, so we changed our minds from a day bus to a night bus - all worked out in the end!

Food and drinks:
- The best chocolate cake we've had in a long time, paired with yummy hot chocolate!
- More delicious and cheap 'menu of the days' - our favourite was soup with fried plantain ball to start, llangipocha (which is...) for main, an orange juice, and a square of something similar to pannacotta with pineapple for dessert (for the equivalent of £3 each)
- We went for a proper Indian curry (twice...) - it was so nice and made us miss home!Baca selengkapnya
