Sorry TLC but this looks to tempting to stay away.
I know what you said TLC, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.” Well guess what TLC, I bet you girls have never been to Baños, Ecuador because if you have you would know that there are just way too many waterfalls to pass up.
Luckily for me, I ran into a great group of Spaniards while mountain biking around the waterfalls on the outskirts of Baños who showed me an amazing spot where we could swim under a giant double-decker waterfall.
I had been admiring the top waterfall from a distance when the large group walked passed. One of the girls doubled back and asked in her quick Spaniard Spanish.. estas viajando solo? (are you traveling alone?)
I hesitated for a second, assested the girl-to-guy ratio and responded… “si?”
She ordered back “Ven con nosotros, vamos a nadar!” (come with us, let’s go swimming)
Me: “Jaja, dale!” (haha, okay)
Absolutely beautiful.

G-man – help me out here! I thought Banos meant bathroom in Espanol? The beautiful scenery makes me think otherwise…
