Most Exciting Tourist Attractions In South America

4. Bold And Brilliant Swing At The End Of The World

Traveling can often become about discovering new cultures and traditions or hearing stories of heritage and religion. However, sometimes traveling can be about more, such as pushing limits and experiencing the bold and courageous. On the edge of Baños in Ecuador, that is what the ‘Swing at the End of the World’ has become. Almost a three-hour hike leads hundreds of tourists to a tree house with a swing that reaches out over a drop 8530 feet above sea level. Not only is the potential fall reason for tourists to test their limits, but the active volcano across the gap also plays a role. Called Tungurahua, this earthly giant has been active for years and is a huge attraction for those who want to see the incredibly capacity South America has to offer. Cared for by an elder resident, Carlos Sanchez, the swing has become a world-renowned symbol for bravery and exploration in a playful way. A swing of fate seems to be an excellent way to entice the adrenaline seekers, but the following destination is the perfect draw for the more artistic types of sightseers.
