Ecuador Beyond the Galápagos | Hidden Canyon & Adventure Mini Guide

Saw the canyon in my reel and wondered how to get there?

This guide is for you. 🇪🇨

What started as a trip to El Reventador turned into a jungle adventure, with a canyon side quest that became one of my favourite experiences in Ecuador.

I’ve put my personal route, practical tips and mainland favourites into a compact guide to help you plan your own adventure.

Inside you’ll find:

• The canyon’s exact location and clickable Google Maps pin.

• Practical notes on the walk, river crossing and what to bring.

• Our route from Quito using buses, taxis and hitchhiking.

• The hotels we stayed in and our recorded transport costs.

• How we arranged a local guide near El Reventador, plus an organised alternative.

• More mainland inspiration: Cotopaxi, the Quilotoa Loop, Baños, Mindo and Cuenca.

With 10 original photos from my travels, this guide brings together the places, experiences and useful details I’d share with a friend planning a similar trip.
