I came to Ecuador on a family trip from New York and didn’t know what to expect, but the Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños ended up being the highlight of my entire trip. The views were beautiful and seeing waterfalls like Pailón del Diablo in person was incredible. Our host was the best part of the experience. He was funny, engaging, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. If you’re visiting Baños, I highly recommend this tour !!

This Tour was absolutely amazing and I 1000% Recommend it to anybody whether you’re traveling with family, friends, are a couple or solo traveling. The tour Is the perfect mix of nature and if you want, adrenaline. Imagine seeing eight beautiful waterfalls in one day ! every waterfall was breathtaking and unique in its own way. This wasn’t a difficult tour either. I would say it was moderate the only two waterfalls that took longer and more energy to get to where the last two, but other than that it’s a super easy tour that many people can do. If you like adrenaline, you have the option of doing zip lining, a Tarzan swing, a glass bridge, and more for an additional cost, but the additional costs are well worth it and affordable. The lunch spot that they take you to was great. They even snuck in a quick tour of a candy factory. Our guides were very friendly, very kind, helpful, and charismatic. It’s a beautiful tour to see nature, take amazing photos and get your adrenaline rush while meeting new people. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
