350m Zip Line Adventure in Baños Near the Canyon

Summary

Zip Lining Over Baños Canyon: Thrill Ride Details & Tips

Feel what it’s like to soar over a real canyon in Baños—choose your flying style and even ride with a friend. It’s safe, simple to join, and gives you a rush you’ll remember long after.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the cool air brushing my face as we crossed the cable car—locals call it the “tarabita.” It rattled just enough to make my heart skip, and below, you could spot tiny patches of wildflowers clinging to the rocks. Our guide, Diego, handed out harnesses and helmets—he double-checked every buckle, which honestly made me feel safer than I expected.

You get to pick how you want to fly: sitting up or stretched out like Superman. My friend and I went together, side by side, laughing nervously as staff clipped us in. The launch is quick—one second you’re on solid ground, next you’re soaring above the canyon for 350 meters. Wind whips past your ears and you catch glimpses of green valleys and distant waterfalls. If you go early morning, there’s usually a light mist hanging over the river below; it smells fresh, almost sweet.
