Hiking, Hydro and Hot Springs
Greetings from the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest. Over the last 2 days we’ve been exploring this remarkable region with a couple of short hikes to waterfalls, a refreshing afternoon at the Papallacta Hot Springs, and a guided visit of the 50 MW Quijos-Papallacta dam project.
Here are some pictures to tell the story: Michael lending a hand to Anneliese on a stream crossing.

No, Murray didn’t drop his keys in the river. He’s actually trying to move a boulder to make it easier for the rest of the group to cross the stream while keeping their feet dry
