River rafting, kayaking, canyoning, zip-lining, rock climbing . . . just about every adventure activity seems to be on tap in this spunky central-Ecuadorian town. Setting the stage for thrills, the highly active Tungurahua volcano towers over Ba\u00f1os and a 260-foot waterfall cascades right into downtown. Legend has it the Virgin Mary was seen near the falls, and she protects the region from volcanic activity (the cathedral has frescoes depicting <em>La Virgen<\/em> combating eruptions). The extreme landscape and affordable prices bring backpackers, while the hot springs draw locals and luxury lovers. After an action-packed day paddling Class IV rapids and \u201cswinging at the end of the world,\u201d you can retreat to one of the boutique hotels tucked in the mountains with rejuvenating spas, gourmet restaurants, and suites with valley vistas.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s how to get your thrills in Ba\u00f1os: The Adventure Capital of Ecuador.<\/h3>\n<h2>Bike the Waterfalls Route<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18038 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161129234124\/Banos-Ecuador-2342.jpg\" alt=\"Bike the Waterfalls Route in Ba\u00f1os, Ecuador\" width=\"853\" height=\"640\" \/>\n<p><em>Photo by: HoneyTrek.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow the new Ba\u00f1os-Puyo road, hugging the cliffs of the Pastaza Valley, and watch dozens of waterfalls plummet into the serpentine river. If you are feeling ambitious, pedal the full 39-mile <em>Ruta de Las Cascadas<\/em>, or opt for an 11-mile highlights ride to the thundering <em>Pailon del Diablo<\/em> waterfall (<em>see below<\/em>). To make it a little easier, trucks in Rio Verde will take you back to town for a couple bucks.<\/p>\n<h2>Peer Into The Devil\u2019s Cauldron<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18033 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161129233326\/4-Untitled2-001.jpg\" alt=\"Pailon del Diablo in Ba\u00f1os, Ecuador: The Devil\u2019s Cauldron\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" \/>\n<p><em>Photo by: HoneyTrek.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cutting through canyon like a corkscrew, <em>Pailon del Diablo <\/em>(&#8220;The Devil&#8217;s Cauldron&#8221;)&nbsp;is the most dramatic fall along the Waterfalls Route. Hike 15 minutes down a steep winding path to reach a little ticket booth (once you see what the community created, you\u2019ll want to pay them double). This 100-foot waterfall creates such wind and spray it\u2019s literally hard to walk, yet the villagers managed to build balconies into the cliff face and even behind the falls. Crawl through the narrow rock tunnels to witness the torrent of raging water inches from your face . . . it\u2019s a giggle-inducing rush.<\/p>\n<h2>Go Canyoning<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18016 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161129225711\/Banos-Ecuador-9.jpg\" alt=\"Geotours Ba\u00f1os - Ba\u00f1os, Ecuador\" width=\"853\" height=\"640\" \/>\n<p><em>Photo by: Geotours<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Join the top-notch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geotoursbanios.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geotours team<\/a> for a day abseiling the waterfalls.
