Necessarily a touch of adventure and adrenaline La Cueva de los Tayos, the one found in the province of Pastaza, has also been the cave of betrayal. The tayos make their nests on the rocks of these caves. In particular, I promise not to murder anyone if I manage to get out of this cave, I think as I listen to that story of the native guide who leads the tour of this cave, who knows how to catch the attention of tourists who come to Puyo, because it is located less than two hours by highway (one hour) and a ballast road (30 minutes). The Tayu Jee community is the TOUR TO THE CAVE OF LOS TAYOS FOR 1 DAY (FULL DAY) 07:00 Concentration in the Agency • Departure from the city of Baños - Puyo estimated time 2 hours • Walk through the jungle to the community 1:30 hours. • Welcome to the Community. www.explorjunglec.com

    THE BIRDS CALLED TAYOS

    We hung out with some work friends. I never thought there was such a cave under the mountains. The tayos are unique birds. And that creepy noise. You must know this beautiful one.

    Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baños.

    How much does Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baños usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baños is not rushed.

    Is Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baños, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baños can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baños and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baños within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Baños?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Baños experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rafting Tour, Full Day Baths, The Best Extreme Canyoning -Cashaurco in -Banos Ecuador. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Baños?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Baños?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day?

    +

    Is Los Tayos Cave + Mysterious Caverns + Light Wells One Day wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
