You step off the last platform and the canyon rearranges itself beneath you: a patchwork of river gashes, steep green ribs and a current that dares you to look away. The canopy circuit outside Baños threads six stations across two ridgelines, moving from a low launch 20 meters above the Pucayaco to a final line that soars roughly 160 meters above the Ulba River canyon.

You step off the last platform and the canyon rearranges itself beneath you: a patchwork of river gashes, steep green ribs and a current that dares you to look away. The canopy circuit outside Baños threads six stations across two ridgelines, moving from a low launch 20 meters above the Pucayaco to a final line that soars roughly 160 meters above the Ulba River canyon.
The western flanks of the Tungurahua foothills are young volcaniclastic terrain—steep, rapidly eroding slopes that give the canyons their raw vertical faces. Local communities around Baños have long paired mountain agriculture with emerging adventure tourism; the area blends indigenous highland culture with guides who learned their skills on the slopes and in town workshops.
Expect a mix of short forest hikes between platforms, exposed cable traverses, a Tibetan-style suspension bridge and sections of via ferrata-style climbing where you clip continuously to stainless steel safety lines. Lines total about 2,000 meters end-to-end and are split into variable-length sections to manage exposure and adrenaline. Views focus on river corridors, waterfalls and the distant bulk of the Tungurahua volcano when visibility is clear.
Practically: wear grippy shoes, layered clothing and a small daypack with water and sun protection; guides provide helmets, harnesses and belay systems. The full experience runs about two hours—short but intense—so morning slots are best for stable weather and clearer views. Not recommended for people with heart conditions or limited mobility. Respect equipment checks, listen to briefing points, and give wildlife space—this is mountain habitat where the canyon keeps its own pace.
The entire route covers about 2,000 meters of cable across six stations and takes roughly two hours including brief hikes between platforms.
Yes; certified harnesses, helmets and continuous stainless-steel safety lines are provided and mandatory—guides perform equipment checks before you start.
Not recommended for those with heart problems; small children must sit on laps for transport and operators often set minimum age or supervision requirements—check booking details.
