Giron

This is a day full of contrasts. We start our day driving through the ever green and rich ranchland of the Tarqui Valley. The first stop will be at one of the most important historical places of the independence battles. From here you will be able to appreciate the beautiful Andes landscape. Next, we will reach the waterfalls of El Chorro de Giron, an amazing area of cloud forest covered in bromeliads, orchids and soft green moss. Here, you will hike through the lush vegetation to reach the cascades, a 250 foot high waterfall.

Wilson was great. He’s very knowledgeable about the area. The cascade was awesome to see. The hike to the second waterfall was steep and slippery in some places. Wilson graciously lent us his hiking poles. We felt well cared for. We enjoyed our lunch of local foods. The restaurant proprietor was very obliging and the restaurant itself was a treasure to see. We then walked around the town and Wilson showed us the importance of architecture and we visited with a couple shop owners.
