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.
