Operated by Wonderful Ecuador · Baños de Agua Santa, Tungurahua
You feel the river before you see it: a narrow throat of water that has cut a route through volcanic rock, cold and insistent, daring you to move. At the trailhead near Baños, guides check harnesses and click carabiners with the calm efficiency of people who spend their lives negotiating vertical seams. Within an hour you’re lowered into the Cashaurco, where the canyon narrows, sunlight strips in bars and the current pushes you from one challenge to the next.
