👍👍 Such a beautiful place with an incredible view. This waterfall is known for having really cold water, so be prepared to get inside and get rid of those bad vibes.

👍👍 The closest natural forest to the city of Quito, just 45 minutes from the city. It has an impressive diversity of native flora and birds, mainly hummingbirds. Ideal for walking with family and friends, you can take small children. There is also restaurant service

👍👍 A cooperative community that practices a great mix of traditional and modern farming methods, Yunguilla perches on the hillside in a cloud forest like the terraced gardens and fields the good people tend. Hiking trails, overnight home stays that would include practicing and learning sustainable farm...

👍👍 Amazing spot to see orchids and birds. Wonderful short hike to a waterfall. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Old-world hotel on a nature preserve, offering archaeological tours, hiking & cooking classes.

😠 I would only recommend it if you go on weekdays. Weekends and holidays are full of people, trash everywhere, and people drinking or using drugs. The administration cares little about the consumer and is not responsible for anything.

👍👍 Muy buen lugar, recomendado por su vistas y cascadas, me encanta el lugar para salir de camping con la familia 👪 y amigos.
