On our last minute trip to Costa Rica, the hubby and I were lucky to book a super last-minute day trip to go white water rafting on the Río Pacuare. Named as one of the Top Five Rivers in the World for class II-IV rafting, it’s a must when visiting Costa Rica.

I hate to sound like a Debbie Downer or a Negative Nancy here since I’m not normally one to recommend taking a tour or bus over doing something yourself. However, in this case, I’m making an exception. If you’re thinking about renting a bike while in Baños de Agua Santa to explore La Ruta de las Cascadas: do yourself a favor and at least read through my reasons not to do it.
During my planning for our trip to Ecuador, I read several blogs and articles about all the fun things to see and do. We were looking forward to Ecuador being an adventurous trip since Baños has so many outdoor adventure activities and we planned to visit the Galápagos Islands as well. Many of the posts I read touted bicycling the road to Puyo, also known as La Ruta de las Cascadas (Route of the Waterfalls), as a great budget activity while in Baños. I, however, would advise you to consider these reasons before renting a bike and pedaling out of Baños.
Food is easily one of my favorite things, along with naps, reading, and traveling (I guess I should include my husband on this list too). Lucky for me, he also loves food and has been a willing partner in many of my eating adventures. We have a preference for regional foods and local restaurants over chain restaurants.
I actually keep a running list of restaurants in our local area to try, and we periodically check out new places.
I’m a sassy bookworm from Buffalo who’s just trying to see every corner of this world. I do as much traveling as I can manage around my full time job. Love sharing my travels and tips with you!
