Launch above Baños’ deep green gorge and fly toward the Manto de la Novia waterfall on a 1,300 m round-trip zipline. This two-hour canopy wraps aerial speed around volcanic cliffs and cloud-forest trails — adrenaline with practical safety and local insight.

You step onto a narrow wooden platform and the valley exhales beneath you — cloud-damp air, a river that dares you with its roar, and the Manto de la Novia curtain of water dropping more than 200 meters nearby. The first line launches you toward the fall: wind pushes at your jacket, speed pinches the air to a clean, sharp note, and the canyon opens up like a long, green throat.

You step onto a narrow wooden platform and the valley exhales beneath you — cloud-damp air, a river that dares you with its roar, and the Manto de la Novia curtain of water dropping more than 200 meters nearby. The first line launches you toward the fall: wind pushes at your jacket, speed pinches the air to a clean, sharp note, and the canyon opens up like a long, green throat.
Baños de Agua Santa sits along the eastern flanks of the Andes, a town shaped by volcanic Tungurahua and fed by thermal springs that have drawn travelers for generations. The zipline route here runs roughly 1,300 meters round-trip (an 800 m one-way line and a 500 m return), skimming ridgelines and threading through secondary cloud forest where volcanic rock and rich alluvium feed dense vegetation.
Locals mix adventure tourism with a culture of pilgrimage and mountain farming; you’ll often pass small coffee plots and roadside fruit stands on the approach. Guides keep the experience practical — harness checks, clear verbal signals and a short hike between platforms — so adrenaline stays fun, not risky.
Plan for quick weather shifts: bring layered clothing, waterproof shell and sturdy shoes for the hike segments. Arrive mid-morning for clearer skies and softer winds, and expect two hours from pickup to drop-off. Cameras are welcome but secure them; follow the guide’s instructions for braking and body position. The lines move fast (advertised up to 60 km/h), but the real reward is the canyon below — loud, alive, and insisting you pay attention to the present moment.
The full experience is about two hours from meeting to return, including transport, safety briefing, short hikes, and both zipline runs.
Yes — guides provide a safety briefing, harness checks and assisted launches; the course is suitable for first-time zipliners with basic mobility.
Participants should be free of serious spinal injuries and able to follow instructions; infants must sit on an adult’s lap, but check operator policies for minimum age and weight rules.
Wear closed-toe shoes, comfortable activewear, and a light jacket; avoid long scarves or loose clothing that could catch on gear.
