In the cloud forest, the weather can be unpredictable, but it's always a good idea to be prepared for light rain. Our gravel trails remain mostly dry, but good walking shoes, an umbrella, and of course, a camera are always a good idea.

Begin Your Adventure
The entrance to Cascada El Pailón is located about 20 minutes on the road from Baños to Puyo, in the town of Rio Verde. You can schedule a "Waterfall Tour" with a taxi or a Chiva (bus) for the easiest way to get to the island. If you take a public transportation bus to Rio Verde, look for the sign or follow the road in front of the town's soccer field. Don't cross the Rio Verde—if you do, you'll have missed it and won't have the best possible view of the waterfall.
