Not only is the Swing At The End Of The World a cool destination to visit for the current thrill, but it also has a deep history that many are surprised by. Creator and observer or the swing, Carlos Sanchez an elderly local, has been observing the volcano across the way, Mt. Tungurahua, for approximately eighteen years now and decided to become an unpaid watch over the still active volcano. Each morning, the gentleman walks to the clubhouse with a pair of binoculars and looks out over the landscape to monitor the condition of the volcano. The swing at question, however, was made so that Sanchez could entice his family and grandchildren to visit him, which they did. Sure enough, word spread quickly of this fantastic construction and tourists worldwide began embarking on a journey so they may partake in the swing at the end of the world.

With all of the rich history associated with the iconic swing, there is much for visitors-to-be to look forward to. Upcoming is another solid reason to give this chance ago, especially for those who enjoy exercise.
