Baños

This weekend we went to a town called Baños for a couple of nights. The town is famous for its hot springs, which are said to have healing powers. The town is located in this valley next to a volcano (the town has been destroyed 3 times since 1700), and has really pretty scenery. It's a very touristy town, but really cool at the same time.

This is the church in the main square.

One of the main streets. It almost looks European!

An artisanal market.

My friend Noah playing a game of chess with a stranger on the street.

On Saturday morning we hiked up the mountain to a little café and this was the view. Hello Baños!

Saturday afternoon we visited 3 huge waterfalls. This was my favorite.

Apart from hiking and waterfalls, we visited the hot springs, ate really cheap but delicious food, visited a town called Runtun, and hung out in town quite a bit. Super fun, super relaxed, and very different from anything in the USA.

I hope you had a great weekend too!
