Babymoon Trip is Planned!

For some silly reason Geoff and I never took a honeymoon. We had such exotic ideas of where we wanted to go but could never decide on a location. So there we sat, 8 months into our marriage, still wanting to take a honeymoon, but knowing an adorable baby was on the way in 9 months. Then came the idea of a babymoon! A honeymoon type trip before the baby came.

Thus the planning was underway, with a urgency like never before. I wanted to go when I was in the middle of the second trimester. Hopefully when the nauseousness is gone and before I got too uncomfortable.

Location of our resort, The Luna Runtun

We have finally completed the plans. We are going to be heading to Banos, Ecuador for two weeks. It is located in the mountains between the gateway to the Amazon rainforest and the Llanganates National Park. We will be staying at an Luna Runtun Adventure Spa, where there is daily adventure trips and spa treatments to pick from. Here are some pictures from the resorts website, all credit is given to them.

This is one of the builds on the property. It is likely where we will be staying. The resort has 310 acres to explore, with their own lush gardens, birds and exotic plants.



The resort has an amazing view! This is a picture of part of their 4 pools and jacuzzi of natural Volcanic water. They also have SPA building where I hope to get some massages and mud baths, and volcanic ash and salt exfoliation.







A close by waterfall. There are many hikes, mountain biking, canoing, and rafting trips to go on. I am excited to hike the smugglers trail and the Inca trail. I also want to go check out the active volcano and Amazon rainforest.
