Toachi River Canyon, Ecuador
Toachi River Canyon, located in the central highlands of Ecuador near the town of Chugchilán, is one of the most striking geological formations in the region. Carved over thousands of years by the Toachi River, the canyon features steep vertical cliffs, layered rock walls, and narrow ravines that cut through the Andean landscape. Its dramatic formations—especially the sculpted volcanic tuff walls—offer a unique view into the region’s volcanic past. Surrounded by farmland and pine forests, the canyon is a popular stop for hikers exploring the Quilotoa Loop, offering panoramic views and opportunities to observe native flora, birdlife, and local rural life along its rim.
