From day one of my stay here in Cuenca my view of the
mountains been speckled by one little white church on top of everything. After
dozens of recommendations that I visit, I decided to go check it out. Little
did I know that this church was 4 miles and 575 stairs away… But, a two hour
walk (and a lot of heavy breathing) later, I ended up at Turi. The Iglesia de
Turi is a beautiful white church surrounded by lots of artisanal shops
overlooking the city of Cuenca. The view was beautiful, and it got even better
when we found Adventure Land!
For the expensive price of one dollar, five of my coworkers
and I were able to zipline, trapeze fly, and then swing on the cliff that
overlooked Cuenca. I have to admit this was a liability nightmare and probably
one of the most dangerous things I have done in Ecuador so far… but wow it sure
was exhilarating! And, for the 45 seconds that I was swinging over the city it
was the perfect moment to put everything in perspective.
There is nothing like the view from the top to help you appreciate
all that is below.
Lots of love from Ecuador,
Jen
