Trip to Baņos

We went on a weekend trip to Baņos with the four of us: Me ofcourse, Sander, Karen and Sebastian. Sebastian is a German (exchange) student and he's a lot of fun. But.... for a German guy, he can't drink much! :p
 
Baņos is known for her "baņos", which means baths. The baths are filled with water full of minerals from the mountains. Unfortunately I don't have pics of the baths/pools... After our waterfalls biking trip  we relaxed quite some time in the baths, that was soooo good....  there was one HOT (REALLY HOT!) pool and one FREEZING COLD one. I liked both of them. It certainly was relaxing and refreshing.
