We stopped for fresh empanadas. They put cheese and meat and stuff in corn dough.
Then deepfry it.
Yummy!
We stopped for a snack at a cafe on the mountain over the town.
There was a very good view of the town.
Kerri checked it out upside down.
It was very romantic.
After the waterfalls we stopped to swing out over the treetops.
With no hands
Very high in the air.
Off of a treehouse.
Kerri had to give Matt a push.
But then he flew out over the gorge.
We stopped at one famous waterfall and took a gondola ride across to a small cafe with a garden.
The waterfall used to look like a bridal veil, which is where it got its name, but after a rockfall it changed and now just has two small waterfalls.
To get to the cafe we had to take a cablecar.
It was long and scary looking.
Then we took a bridge across the river.
It also looked pretty scary.
The river had very little water because the dam was closed.
The underside of the rock near the waterfall has a weird texture.
The cafe was very green with hummingbird feeders.
An agouti came out of the forest while we were there.
The agouti is a very large rodent related to guinea pigs.
This bird was at the top of a tree nearby.
This hummingbird came to feed.
Hummingbirds here seem to be very lazy. They all landed on the perch to drink.
We went for a walk after and saw lots of flowers.
And plants with pretty pink leaves.
There are pineapples just growing in the forest.
And more pink bananas.
These white flowers are funky.
There were tons of butterflies.
Which did not want to hold still so Kerri could take a picture.
This is a different butterfly that did land.
But most of them did not.
More funky flowers.
The vultures were flying overhead.
More pink flowers.
There was another small waterfall across the river.
Kerri stood by it too.
The valley is very pretty.
It was a very nice stop.
This morning we went on a scenic drive past the many waterfalls in the canyon near Banos.
It had many waterfalls.
Some of them were very close to the path.
So we got wet.
Most of the waterfalls were very small and far away.
We had to stop to see the face of Jesus in the rock.
Kerri had a problem because this is the one that is supposed to be Jesus.
But the only face that Kerri saw was this one.
This is a pretty pink flower.
We found a couple of parrots.
They are funny birds.
They spend a lot of time upside down.
They were eating flowers.
These pretty flowers.
The last waterfall we visited was huge.
We crawled up a very low pathway.
To get right up next to and behind it. We got soaked.
There was lots of water in the air so there was a rainbow.
The waterfall is called the Devil’s Cauldron because this rock is supposed to look like the devil. Kerri can’t see this one either.
It was very pretty.
