Big Waterfall in Banos Ecuador [01:20]
Free video of a big waterfall in Banos Ecuador. The water of the river was filmed from the cable car that was high in the air. It is scary to some and exciting to others. It felt like flying. This video was created by epSos.de near Baños de Agua Santa of Ecuador. A waterfall is a place where flowing water rapidly drops in elevation as it flows over a steep region or a cliff. A cliff is a significant vertical rock exposure. Cliffs are formed as erosion landforms due to the processes of erosion and weathering that produce them. A cable car is any of a variety of transportation systems relying on cables to pull vehicles along or lower them at a steady rate. The name of the waterfall is El Manto de la Novia.
