The Tree House
Hike the trail from Baños going up to Casa del Arbol, “The Treehouse”, a seismic monitoring station used to observe Mt. Tungurahua, an active volcano.But the main tourist attraction isn’t the quaint tree house, nor even the breathtaking view of the volcano from the edge of a canyon—it’s a swing hanging on the tree at the edge of a cliff.It’s a simple swing—a piece of wood tied on opposite ends with rope attached to the tree.
Guevara Guitars
Is the most beautiful place that I can know and I am proud to talk about my workshop guitars Guevara
This workshop makes string instruments with very old wood that surpass the 70 years. My father learned this beautiful legacy of my grandfather is the third generation of Lutherans and carpenters in Baños de Agua Santa , I hope to be the fourth generation so that this art is not lost .
This place is one of the most known attractions since they are the only artisans in the city.
