Before You Go

Secure your camera
Use a wrist or chest strap for phones and cameras to avoid drops while on the line.

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails and avoid single‑use plastics—the region relies on sustainable tourism to protect fragile cloud‑forest and water sources.
Baños developed as a thermal destination and Andean transit point; volcanic activity on Tungurahua shaped the steep ravines that make long ziplines feasible.
