Travelling in Ecuador...The Stream

El Chorro (The Stream)

Actually, there are two waterfalls. You can reach the first one easily, because there are marked trails (please, don't go across them, you might get lost) that lead you to it. To the second one, there are only narrow paths and you will have to walk a lot uphill, so be prepared with a good physical condition.

Let's talk about the first waterfall. You'll have to walk the marked trails about 10 minutes and the you get to the natural pool where you can swim if you want to, but the water is very, very cold. People say that the water is medicinal. And be careful because in winter time there's a lot of water and the trails become slippery and you get wet. It's an excellent place to take photos.

There's a cottage where you can stay the night or camp, have lunch or just rest and get warm at the foot of  a fireplace. If you are planning to stay, bring warm clothes, it's really cold at night, sometimes it rains and there's a low fog that makes the environment even colder.
