巴尼奥斯德阿瓜圣塔的瀑布

Waterfalls & Nature

Baños de Agua Santa serves as the gateway to the Amazon, where the Pastaza River carves through the Andes to create the 'Ruta de las Cascadas.' This collection features the iconic 80-meter Pailón del Diablo and the urban Cascada de la Virgen, alongside remote high-altitude lagoons in the Sangay and Llanganates National Parks. These sites showcase unique geological formations, from basaltic canyons to glacial lakes, offering insight into Ecuador's diverse hydrological landscape.
