    Great Experience in Ecuador

    I came to Ecuador on a family trip from New York and didn’t know what to expect, but the Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños ended up being the highlight of my entire trip. The views were beautiful and seeing waterfalls like Pailón del Diablo in person was incredible. Our host was the best part of the experience.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAÑOS TOUR

    This Tour was absolutely amazing and I 1000% Recommend it to anybody whether you’re traveling with family, friends, are a couple or solo traveling. The tour Is the perfect mix of nature and if you want, adrenaline. Imagine seeing eight beautiful waterfalls in one day ! every waterfall was breathtaking and unique in its own way. This wasn’t a difficult tour either. I would say it was moderate the only two waterfalls that took longer and more energy to get to where the last two, but other than that it’s a super easy tour that many people can do. If you like adrenaline, you have the option of doing zip lining, a Tarzan swing, a glass bridge, and more for an additional cost, but the additional costs are well worth it and affordable. The lunch spot that they take you to was great. They even snuck in a quick tour of a candy factory. Our guides were very friendly, very kind, helpful, and charismatic. It’s a beautiful tour to see nature, take amazing photos and get your adrenaline rush while meeting new people. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

    Response from the operator: Wow—thank you so much for your incredible 5‑star review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the Route of the 8 Waterfalls tour. It truly is a special experience, and your vivid description of the waterfalls, adrenaline activities, and even the candy factory stop captures exactly why we love sharing it with visitors. We’re delighted that the mix of nature, adventure, and local flavor made your day unforgettable, and we’re especially grateful for your kind words about our guides. Knowing you’d do this tour again “in a heartbeat” is the best compliment we could receive. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for more adventures in Ecuador! Warm regards, The Kajol Lavan Travel Team

    Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños?

    +

    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 Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños?

    +

    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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Route of the 8 Waterfalls in Baños 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.
