Full description

Enjoy a unique day trip to Baños de Agua Santa, and see the beautiful volcanoes of Ecuador, waterfalls, the cloud forest, and the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest.

Visit Baños de Agua Santa, a city located at 1,820 meters above sea level (5,971 ft), south of Quito on the north-eastern flanks of the Tungurahua Volcano (5,000 m / 16,404 ft), with natural hot springs downtown, and a natural entrance to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. Be picked up at 7:30 am from your hotel in Quito to start an incredible adventure. Admire beautiful volcanoes on the way, like Antisana, Los Ilinizas, Cotopaxi, and Tungurahua.

Arrive to start a walk through the charming streets of Baños around 10:15 am, and take time to visit the monastery of the "Virgin of Agua Santa”, and see paintings that describe different eruptions of the Tungurahua Volcano, whose volcanic activity started again in 1999. Drive towards the beautiful and stunning “Avenue of the Waterfalls”; beginning with a stop in front of the Agoyan Hydroelectric Dam, and walk towards the local community of "Río Blanco" to appreciate the beauty of the cloud forest.

Cross the Pastaza River Canyon on a cable car that rides a 500 meters-long-cable to visit the "Manto de la Novia" waterfall, learn all about the local people's lifestyle, and take a hike down to the river. Stop at the viewpoint of the "San Jorge" waterfall, and recover energy with a tasty lunch.

Visit the world-famous Devil's Cauldron or "Pailón del Diablo" waterfall, and see some of the Amazon's vegetation.

Arrive back in Quito approximately at 6:30 pm, after having enjoyed more than four different microclimates on the same day.

Our day trip to Baños was a blast! We saw many waterfalls (including Pailón del Diablo Waterfall) and got to do some activities like the "Swing at the End of the World" (a part of "La Casa del Arbol"), "Columpio Fantasias De Volar", & "Mega Adventure Park Río Blanco" The drive from Quito to Baños is 3-3.5 hours and so this makes for a long day with limited time there. There is even more to see and do in Baños, so a few days might be better suited to fully experience this city. However, if you have limited time in Ecuador, then we highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was Wilson and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide to show us the beautiful country of Ecuador. Wilson was so considerate in accommodating the tour to our specific wants and needs. If you have very little time to spend around Quito, this is the tour to do! There is quite a bit of driving involved as Baños is almost three hours outside of Quito (including traffic), but it was all worth it!
