• Travel route to the waterfall
• Perform highest jump of 45 meters

The experience

The activity starts with a drive through Baños landscapes to reach Chamana Waterfall. Once there, you'll suit up in a wetsuit, jacket, helmet and harness, all provided, and your guide will walk you through the descent. The highest rappel is approximately 45 meters, and the guides are specialized in making that the focal point of the experience.

You'll spend the rest of the half-day moving through the canyon: rappelling down rock faces, wading through the clear water at the base, and navigating the terrain with your guide managing every safety protocol. The activity suits beginners and experienced climbers equally because the guides control the pace and handle the technical setup. You're not climbing or hiking. You're descending and moving through water on a fixed route with equipment doing the work.

Photos and videos of the experience get sent to your email afterward. Private transportation means no waiting for a group van or coordinating a separate ride: pickup happens from your hotel and drops you back when the activity ends.
