Cascada Suyu Pakcha, also known as Golondrina, is a stunning natural pool located in the Shitig sector of Alto Tena, Ecuador. With a 23-meter drop, three distinct cascades, and crystal clear water as deep as 9 meters, this hidden gem is a must-see for visitors to Tena. The sacred site is thought to be home to many spirits, and is a popular destination for snorkeling, wildlife observation, and photography or just a relaxing swim. Visitors should plan to bring comfortable walking shoes as the cascades can only be accessed via a 15 to 20 minute jungle hike from the nearby Rio, guided by a local guide.
