Mindo, Ecuador - Crossing "la tarabita" [01:34]
Located in Mindo, Ecuador, the tarabita, is basically a cage hung from a wire that is used to cross the jungle valley so you can get to the sanctuary of waterfalls on the other side. As you can see, you're high above the valley floor, so the ride is a little intimidating; but its also an extremely fun experience to be flying over the tree tops and see the river and everything else below. The waterfalls that you find on the other side are all very beautiful.

Seeing their plan fail, the dejected animals and birds prepared to leave the forest and look for another home. That night the forest was very silent. But the next morning everyone was surprised to see the Cloud and Forest back together. Surprised, the Condor, Anaconda and others went and asked the two friends for the reason behind their change of heart. With a smile, the friends explained - your letters made us realize how well we know each other and also what our friendship means not just to us but also to others around us. Moral: True friends are hard to find. When you do, hold on ...
