Tree house (Casa Del Arbol)

On the top of the mountain above Baños there is one of the most unusual places in Ecuador. Photos of this swing appeared in the internet several years ago, but the majority does not know where it is. Attraction is free and is supported by volunteers, donations are welcome (we left some).

We arrived in the evening, and the sun was in the perfect position.

Without sun photos look very different.


Tungurahua Volcano, by the ways, is active and at the time of our visit there was a smoke over it. On the next photo you can see it a little.


Excellent views






Getting there: the site is within walking distance from Baños, but you need to go about 12 km uphill, although on a paved road. You can take a taxi for $15 return Better is to go up on the taxi, and then walk down to see the scenery.
