During our time in Quito, Ecuador, me and my girlfriend went on different trips. For the previous seven months we had spent every moment together, and it was nice to spend some time apart. She went into the deep jungle while I went on to visit Baños, where I cycled to Puyo, roughly 70km away. I rented the crappiest bike, got chased by dogs that I’m pretty sure wanted to eat me, but on the upside, I got to see this waterfall. I had previsualised this image right from the start but initially took the wrong entrance which made me end up on the platform below. Out of all the waterfalls I’ve seen in my life, this one was by far the loudest – just looking at it makes my ears ring.
