Cascadas Verdes — Attraction in Pedro Vicente Maldonado

Monday to Sunday, 8am to 5pm.

We bought some and didn't get sick just...

Two waterfalls to visit here. The first you will see is 5 min from the parking place and the second one is not recommended for 3rd age, hard terrain, this last waterfall is around 15m tall and 9m deep. A very good place to visit. *First...
