La Casa del Arbol: a swing in Ecuador

This swing perched at 2600 meters above sea level will give you a fabulous feeling of freedom, above a canyon in Ecuador!

Who does not remember the feeling of freedom offered by the swing of a swing? This impression of being able to take off at any moment from the firm earth to fly into heaven. And now that you've become an adult, if you find that same feeling? Where? How? Simply by going to Ecuador.

Extreme swing

Like a pendulum floating above the void, there is a swing that has nothing to envy to all his cousins. Located in Baños, a small town Ecuador , the swing in question is easily recognizable: in fact, near a small wooden hut in a tree, a swing starts from a cliff and comes over the entire valley.

Perched over 2600 metres above sea level, the "Casa del Arbol" ("the tree house") offers a fantastic panorama while offering you to find the sensations you experienced with your swing in your usual square.

Except that here, you will swing at the end of the world, literally.

An experience of emptiness

At the beginning, Casa del Arbol was a seismic control station but with the arrival of new technologies, it fell into disuse and became a charming little house with the singularity of having a swing on which each movement was felt as an impetus to the infinite.

Suspended above a cliff, this swing is made for lovers of strong sensations but also for those who have kept a soul of a child and still want and always consider the world with a new look, ready to embrace the world.

While most tourists who flock more and more simply admire the fantastic view (already) from the top of the cliff, those who are in pain of adrenaline will embark on this simple wooden board to suspend over the void.

Without any protection, without a security barrier, without a surveillance system, each person is responsible for his or her impulse of vertigo and it is enough – it must be admitted – a stronger thrust to fly to this dizzying nothingness.

Although it happens, the swing at the end of the world in Baños en Equateur is an original, sensational place with more than one title that daringly mixes the magic of an unusual place in the clouds and extreme sensations.

Are you ready to give up on this incredible challenge with the "world swing"?
