The swing at the "End of the World" Banos, Ecuador

 Wanna ride the swing that will take you to the end of the world? At the edge of Ecuador sits a rickety tree house overlooking an active volcano in the near distance where you can fulfill that crazy dream of yours. With that package it includes a swing with no harness and only the bravest of the risk- takers have the guts to experience this. Swing sets are usually used by children who play on a playground, but this new temporary device is known as the Swing at the End of the World. The Swing at the End of the World are only for the bravest adventurers who are willing to take the risk of falling off the edge of a cliff while swinging high in the air. The swing "greets hikers" at the elevation of 2,660 meters.


Tourists who choose to ride the swing are given a very cool perspective of the surrounding environment, which also include the Tungurahua volcano. Only one could imagine the excitement that rushes through one's body as they sway back and forth. Wouldn't your excitement rush as you're hovering over a long drop within every few seconds? OMG I think a serious adrenaline rush would just run through my body because I would be so nervous but scared at the same time. But maybe that's just me because I'm a mixed feeling kind of girl! But seriously like back to the swing, it may seem not a serious and scary as you think, but just thinking that it's just a plank of wood hung by two ropes attached to a metal rod high above a cliff could be a little disheartening.

So if you're interested in this daring act, why not take some time off work or get a vacation break and head down to Ecuador, where you can accomplish your dream for real. If you're really into swings and wanted to go on something more exciting, try it out on the best swing of your life where you're life may be in danger. But if you're into that stuff, I would say go for it and hanging above a cliff and seeing the landscape is a chance of a lifetime!
