Ecuador escape: day of waterfalls, lakes & lush landscapes

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Cuenca at the scheduled time to commence this journey to the Girón waterfall and Busa Lake. From the fertile Tarqui Valley to the cloud forest, this route promises unique natural experiences. The adventure begins with a scenic drive through the Tarqui Valley, known for its cattle ranching and greenery. Our first stop is a historically significant site related to Ecuador's independence, where you'll explore the country's rich history amidst Andean views.

Next, we head to the Girón waterfall—a wooded area with bromeliads, orchids, and mosses. A leisurely 20-minute walk through vibrant vegetation leads to the waterfall, where you can enjoy the cool waters and the serenity of nature.

Next, we visit Busa Lake, where a brief stroll along its shores provides panoramic views of the lagoon and surrounding mountains. It's a moment to appreciate Ecuador's pristine natural beauty.

A lunch break follows before we start our return journey. Seven hours after the start, we'll be back in Cuenca, having experienced a day filled with nature's diverse contrasts.
