Ecuador Weekend Trip to Mindo!!



Austin Cogswell canyoning a 75m waterfall in Mindo, Ecuador! We started off our weekend excursion with a 5-hour hike/canyoning journey through the wilderness of the Andes.



PD Brock, an expert of canyoning and not wearing a shirt, shows off his flawless repelling techniques.



Natalie Rubel repels the third of the waterfalls which was measured at 80m! After we repelled down all of these waterfall, we had to cross a fierce river lead by our daring guides before climbing straight back up the mountain to head home.



The next day we headed to a zip-lining course which comprised of 10 different zip-lines all differing in length. Jackie Menk shows off her excitement!



While the weather wasn't great, the view was spectacular every time!



Some people decided to be a little adventurous while zip-lining including PD Luke who wanted to try it upside down.



Hannah tries zip-lining Superman!
