There is a relatively hidden gem high in the mountains of Cuenca, Ecuador called Mirador Del Turi, accessible by rental car or bus. During our trip in April, we found the most fun adult do-it-yourself play park with this makeshift lawn chair swing! For $5 they strap you in and release you to soar high above Cuenca's city to see what it feels like to be a bird. The great thing about Ecuador is that they use US dollars, so no exchange necessary!

To check out more photos of this awesome adult playground and to read more about where we ate and what we saw in Cuenca, here is the blog post: https://culturalfoodies.com/2017/11/02/cuenca-ecuador/
