Hiking Hola Vida and Indichuris

On Day Two of Adventuring with the Ferries, we drove thru Puyo to an iconic stop, Indichurri. There are actually two places that go by the name Indichuris on the same road. This is the second one.

I hear that on a clear day the views of volcanos over the Rio Puyo is mesmerizing. Even though we had a beautiful day with blue skies, we only saw bits and pieces of the volcanos in the distance.

While I was debating on riding this rope swing, my friend tells me that there's a video online of a man falling off of the swing. He was drunk and snuck in after hours. I decided to pass.

Hammocks for relaxing and enjoying the fantastic view.

On the hike back down, we stopped to explore some caves and found bats and spiders on the walls.

The trailhead for Hola Vida Cascades is just down the road from Indichuris. The trail runs along the river and is quite an interesting hike requiring crossings over multiple types of bridges.

Once at the waterfall, Journey spent her time looking for interesting rocks while Asher quietly looked for gold. It reminded me of our time spent at National Parks just soaking in the beauty and letting the kids explore at their own pace. The desire to travel the western US again is strong!

On our way home we enjoyed a pizza on the outdoor patio of O Solo Mio overlooking Puyo. A great ending to a fantastic weekend adventure with our friends.
