Swing at the End of the World in Ecuador

The Swing at the End of the World hangs from a treehouse (La Casa Del Arbol) more than 8,500 feet above sea level in Banos, Ecuador. Many wild adventurers are attracted to the swing, which provides an amazing but scary view of the Tungurahua Volcano. Hikers reach this site on their way to Bellavista viewpoint.

Be warned! The construction of the swing consists of a metal beam attached to a rope with no safety belt. Hikers take their chances in this once-in-a-lifetime spectacular moment.
