A vibrant town at Ecuador's Andes-Amazon frontier, famed for waterfalls, hot springs and the Swing at the End of the World.

📍 Destination Overview

Banos, a vibrant town at the eastern foot of Ecuador's Andes, sits in a green canyon where highlands give way to the Amazon, embraced by waterfalls, hot springs and the Tungurahua volcano. Its name means 'City of Holy Water Baths'; along the Waterfall Route lies the plunging Pailon del Diablo. The 'Swing at the End of the World' swings over the misty valley toward the volcano.
