Cascada El Rocío Machay is a stunning site to explore near Baños, Ecuador. This cascading waterfall is situated approximately 15 minutes away from the famed Paílón del Diablo and about 25 kilometers east of Baños. Visitors can gain easy access to the Machay Waterfalls by riding the Cascadas Route, through cycling, taking a taxi, or by bus. The 20-minute descent to the waterfalls via wooden stairs and swing bridges makes for a pleasant excursion. Once at the bottom, tourists will be surrounded by lush, dense foliage and cool jungle air. Swimming in the deeper pools allows one to truly enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. And although El Paílón del Diablo may be the more popular attraction on the route, the Machay Waterfalls offer an opportunity to find peace and tranquillity with almost no other people around. With its natural beauty and breathtaking views, Machay Waterfalls provide an unforgettable experience and are a must-see destination when exploring Baños, Ecuador!
