More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van and the rainforest takes over: humid air, the steady percussion of distant falls, and a narrow track that disappears between ferns. Guides tighten helmets and check harnesses while sunlight slices through the canopy; ahead, a sequence of plunging pools and clean rock awaits. The canyon doesn’t pause — it dares you forward.
Difficulty
moderate
Duration
4–6 hours
Fitness Level
Should be comfortable with sustained walking, short swims, and managing vertical descents; basic swimming fitness recommended.
Wildlife
History
The canyon sits where Andean uplift meets Amazon drainage; local Kichwa communities have long used nearby streams for food and transport, and trout farming became common after introductions in the 20th century.
Conservation
High visitor traffic can impact streamside vegetation and aquatic life; operators minimize impact by using established trails, briefings on leave-no-trace, and controlled group sizes.

Wear sturdy water shoes
Closed-toe, high-traction water shoes protect toes on slippery rock and improve footing during rappels and swims.
Bring a small dry bag
Pack keys, a light layer and any medication in a waterproof pouch — electronics are best left behind or in provided photo packages.
Time it for lower flow
Choose a morning departure on drier months (June–September) for calmer pools and clearer visibility during dives.
Hydrate and eat lightly
Have a light breakfast and hydrate well; the combination of humidity and exertion can sap energy quickly.
Closed-toe water shoes
Grip and toe protection for wet rock and riverbed movement.
Quick-dry base layer
A light synthetic layer under the wetsuit keeps you comfortable between swims.
Small waterproof dry bag or phone case
Protects essentials during river crossings and wet transfers.
Light gloves with grip
Optional for extra protection on ropes and rough rock surfaces.
