点评:I recently made my second visit to the El Chorro Waterfall with a driver and tour guide from Live the Life lodge in Lentag. Driver Luis is a local from Lentag and Cuenca, in Azuay Ecuador. He was very familiar with the area and easily navigated challenging roads going to the Giron area falls. It's an extra cost but riding the local bus and "Mixto" trucks can be problematic. So whatever your budget and patients can handle. The tour guide Alejandra was very pleasant and showed me around the new facilities and joined in some of the extreme fun. The weather in Ecuador is unpredictable, so be ready to get wet, either by the spray of the falls or rain shower. Bring clothing to deal with the changing environmental conditions and wear a pair of hiking boots. We, driver, guide and myself hiked up to the falls, received a "cleansing" from the trail side shaman, and then went for a ride on the zip line. You must be in good shape to ride the zip line due to the moderate difficulty hiking involved. This is specially important if you have not been acclimatized to the elevation yet. After all the activities, we had lunch at the on site rustic restaurant. Food was simple local fare, but very good and inexpensive. We were exhausted when we returned to lodge, but full of new adventure memories.
