Ecuador escape: day of waterfalls, lakes & lush landscapes

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Cuenca to commence this journey to the Girón waterfall and Busa Lake. This route from the Tarqui Valley to the cloud forest promises unique natural experiences. Our adventure begins with a scenic drive through the Tarqui Valley, known for its cattle ranching and greenery. We will stop at a historically significant site related to Ecuador's independence, offering stunning Andean views.

Next, we head to the Girón waterfall, located in a wooded area filled with bromeliads, orchids, and mosses. A 20-minute walk through the vegetation leads us to the waterfall, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in its cool waters.

Our journey continues to Busa Lake, where a stroll along its shores provides panoramic views of the lagoon and surrounding mountains. It's a chance to enjoy Ecuador's natural beauty.

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