Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at Plaza Foch in Quito, where we'll begin a hiking route to some of the most impressive waterfalls in Ecuador.

After providing safety guidelines for the excursion, we'll take the Ecovía bus to Playón de la Marín, then use public transportation to reach Loreto.

From Loreto, we'll start an approximately 40-minute hiking route to explore the landscapes of the Ecuadorian highlands. Along the hike, we will discuss local customs and traditions.

We'll arrive at the Tres Cascadas and learn about their significance. Before we continue, we will break for a delicious picnic lunch.

After lunch, we'll descend through the canyon to find these waterfalls. After about 30 minutes of walking through a small mountain forest, we will reach the first waterfall. You can take a dip in the refreshing water at the third waterfall and have some free time to take photos and enjoy the scenery.

At the end of the route, we will return to the starting point, where transportation back to Loreto will be available. We will then use public transportation to return to Quito, arriving after a total of 6 hours.
