The Vilatuña Waterfall in the canton of Rumiñahui, Ecuador is a must-see destination! This breathtaking natural beauty boasts 15 meter tall cascades amid dense green vegetation, creating an idyllic paradise. Trekkers can explore this amazing area more easily thanks to ever-improving pathways and bridges connecting one side of the river Pita to the other. While you’re there, take time to marvel at the gorgeous array of wildlife and flora, such as eucalyptus trees, brightly-colored hummingbirds, and even the almost-extinct Rocket frog! Stay refreshed with a dip into one of the refreshing pools or refuel at La Gran Cascada restaurant, which serves delicious local dishes.
