You step out of the van and the rainforest takes over: humid air, the steady percussion of distant falls, and a narrow track that disappears between ferns. Guides tighten helmets and check harnesses while sunlight slices through the canopy; ahead, a sequence of plunging pools and clean rock awaits. The canyon doesn’t pause — it dares you forward.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step out of the van and the rainforest takes over: humid air, the steady percussion of distant falls, and a narrow track that disappears between ferns. Guides tighten helmets and check harnesses while sunlight slices through the canopy; ahead, a sequence of plunging pools and clean rock awaits. The canyon doesn’t pause — it dares you forward.
Cashaurco lies in the eastern foothills of the Andes where uplifted volcanic rocks give way to the Pastaza watershed. Over millennia water carved vertical drops and plunge pools through andesite and tuff, creating the steep chutes you descend. The local Kichwa communities have fished trout in these streams for generations, and the grilled trout served after the trip is a straightforward local touch.
On this full-day outing (roughly 4–6 hours including transfers), expect technical rope work — rappels of 12–25 meters — plus zip-lines, 6-meter optional jumps, swims and guided cliff dives at controlled points. Guides run a safety briefing, provide wetsuits, helmets, harnesses and shoes, and operate short transfers from Puyo (about 30–40 minutes). The trip blends rainforest immersion with adrenaline: cool pools, dense greenery, and the tactile sound of water on rock.
Practical notes: be ready for wet, slippery rock and sudden downpours; basic swimming ability and comfort with heights are required even if previous canyoning experience isn’t. Bring a small dry bag, quick-dry layers, and leave loose electronics behind (photo packages are often provided). Morning departures give better light and slightly lower water flow; the activity is guided and suitable for most active travelers but not recommended for people with spinal injuries.
No. Guided groups are suitable for first-timers, though you should be comfortable swimming and with heights; guides teach rope techniques before each rappel.
