Baños
partied late last night. whos idea was it to drink shots? hehe


closer look at the waterfall


baños clame to fame is that the water is warm!
at the bottom, the waterfall is chanelled into lots of different uses, this being one of them. a communal swimming pool and showers.



people use the water to wash stuff.

unsurprisingly there is also a religious spin on it. there are people here blessing themselves i think and also collecting the water in bottles.


also took a closer look at the devilish guinea pigs



these stalls are all selling sugar cane


this is one view from the rooftop common area of my new hostel "plantas y blanco" really nice place!

Hi Matt. Does everyone in Equador dine on the rooftop? Not looking at the photo of those pigs, I haven't eaten chicken since I saw them. Yugh!

So did you get your washing done there for free?

Matt said...

nope, wouldnt go near those things, im getting my washing done for $1 per kilo in the hostel.
