Rafting the Powerful Pastaza

Getting ready

  The powerful Pastaza River cuts wide the canyon in which lies Banos del Agua Santa, Ecuador.  We could not resist its temptation, and headed out to raft the mighty Pastaza (Kechua for "turbulent river").  It was a huge adrenaline rush, and lots of fun, with new friends, the marvellous Marshalka family from Massachusetts.  Wheeeeeee!
