Activity Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at Plaza Grande in Quito, where we'll begin a hiking route to some of the most impressive waterfalls in Ecuador.
First of all, we'll give you some safety guidelines for the activity. From there, we'll take the Ecovía bus to Playón de la Marín and then hop on public transport that will take us to the entrance of Cashapamba. Finally, we'll take another transport to the community of Loreto.
From there, we'll begin an approximately 40-minute hiking route to discover the wonders hidden in the landscapes of the Ecuadorian highlands. During the hike, we'll also tell you about the local way of life and their customs and traditions.
Eventually, we'll arrive at the spot where the Tres Cascadas ('Three Waterfalls') are located and we'll learn about why they're so special. Getting hungry? Before continuing with the tour, we'll take a break for a delicious picnic lunch.
With our strength restored, we'll descend through the canyon where these magical waterfalls are hidden. After walking for about 30 minutes through a small mountain forest, we'll find the first waterfall. Ready for some breathtaking views?
If you feel like it, you can take a dip in the refreshing water at the third waterfall. There, you'll have some free time to take photos and rest while you appreciate the area's incredible scenery.
At the end of the route, we'll return to the starting point, where transportation back to Loreto will be waiting for us. From there, we'll use public transportation to reach the city of Quito, arriving after a total of 6 hours.
