Remember that chill day I mentioned? Yeah, didn’t happen. Let’s just say the hiking trails in Ecuador are a little different than the United States. 

We started out by going to a presentation of condors in a wildlife park here, but then we made a somewhat bad decision to take a “trail” to the waterfall in Peguche. Unfortunately, the trail was a little overgrown and indistinguishable . Parts were divided into forks and you couldn’t always see far ahead of you due to the cliffs, so a few groups got lost…

Yep, lost in a forest in Ecuador.

We tried calling Dr. Lenk and started out on our own with directions on how to get there, asking people from time to time if we were going the right way. We did find it with the helped of a young girl we found playing with her dog. And of course we took another picture, but by this time it had gotten dark 

So we found a nice guy named Luis (Loo-eese), and he called a taxi for us. Turns out, everyone was waiting for us at the Hostel. Crisis solved.
