A place for vacation (Descriptive).

 Adopt the peace of nature. Her secret is patience. By Ralph Waldo Emerson who was an American essayist, lecturer, and philosopher.

One of my favourite places for vacation is Baños because this city has many places to visit and you can feel the energy of nature entry to your body. Also, people have fun doing many activities here like rafting, zipping line and going lookouts, zoos, etc. I like one special sport which is rafting, I had an outstanding experience playing it. It has many stunning places and activities that you could visit or do when you want to have funnies moments and adventures. Those are my friends from University. In this picture, I am the one who is in the middle with a grey t-shirt and blue shorts. We went to Baños few years ago and had hilarious moments enjoying the different activities that you can do there.

It is the afternoon of December 15, 2017, and I am arriving to the tourism agency to start the trip with my friends to the Pastaza river for rafting. I am excited about rafting because I had never done it. We are starting rafting in a part of the river that looked like a lagoon, there the river is calm. We are starting to go down the river, the current grow stronger. I’m bouncing restlessly from place to place over the inflatable boat, trying to vent the tension building at my head because the current grow stronger. I can see many eddies forming in the water. Suddenly, we fall into one of the eddies and our inflatable boat turned. All of us fall into the river, and the adrenaline rises to the maximum. I can see the guide that turn the inflatable boat where we were, and he start to manage it. The guide is trying to help my friends to get on the inflatable boat. All of us have a life jacket, however many of my friends’ swallow water because they don't know how to swim well. If I didn't know how to swim well like my friends, I could swallow water. 

I feel little scared because the river current is unmistakable strong in this part of the river. I am trying to get on another inflatable boat where is passing in front of me. I get on the other boat. The guide drives the inflatable boat where I was, next to the inflatable where I could get. I return to the boat. The guide starts to laugh from my classmates because one of them started to cry. She is undeniable scared, and she wants to get off of the boat. But we are in the middle of the journey down the river. It is so crazy my classmate is uncontrolled. We are feeling worried for her. The trip continues, we managed to calm her down, everybody is okay. The others on the inflatable boat are scared, less me and another friend. It could be because they haven't ever experienced that situation. I have so much adrenaline on my mind, in my body. It is a fantastic trip down the river. We arrive to the end of the rafting. Finally, I am exciting because it is an amazing experience. I could recommend people to do this activity and take precautions before doing this activity.

From my experience, Baños has many places and activities that you could visit or do when you want to have hilarious moments and adventures. There are places for fun where you can do activities like: drinking beer, eating whatever delicious things that you want, etc. People should go to Baños and live unforgettable experiences. I really recommend this place for stay in holidays. You should live and feel the nature in Baños, it is so fantastic. You could enjoy magical moments with the nature and feel free.
