A valley with more than 60 waterfalls, hot springs beside the Tungurahua Volcano, and adventure for every taste — from rafting, climbing, and canyoning to canopy, trekking, mountain biking, and bungee jumping — awaits you in Baños, also known as the “Little Piece of Heaven,” the “Gateway to El Dorado,” and the “City of the Volcano.”

Along the scenic Pastaza Corridor, we will admire beautiful waterfalls, lush vegetation, ecological trails, and hanging bridges. You’ll have the opportunity to experience thrilling activities such as bridge jumping, canopy tours, cycling, hiking, and canyoning—an explosion of adrenaline!

Riding on a typical chiva, a fun and traditional way to explore this route, we’ll visit the Agoyán Waterfall, one of the highest in Ecuador. Next, we’ll stop at Manto de la Novia, where you can take the tarabita (cable car) or cross the bridge to enjoy two different perspectives of the stunning waterfall and its surrounding biodiversity.

We’ll then reach the most impressive site of all, the Pailón del Diablo, named for the rock formation resembling a devil’s face and the waterfall that appears to pour into a giant cauldron (paila).

Throughout the tour, we’ll also see the Inés María, Bascún, Chamana, and Ulba waterfalls, while appreciating how the vegetation transforms between the Sierra and the Amazon regions.

High above the community of Runtún, at 2,660 meters (8,727 feet) above sea level, stands La Casa del Árbol—a wooden cabin perched near a cliff. This is a perfect vantage point for a breathtaking view of the Tungurahua Volcano.

The route concludes with a visit to the Bellavista Viewpoint, offering panoramic views of the city and the volcano.

We’ll explore the charming city of Baños, visiting its iconic church and museum. You’ll enjoy a tasting of traditional “cañas” (sugarcane sweets) and visit the “Water of Life” site next to the Manto de la Virgen Waterfall and the Artisan Passage.

Finally, we’ll return to the city of origin.
