Pailon del Diablo – The Devil’s Cauldron – Ecuador<\/a><\/h2>\n

Pailon del Diablo , Ecuador –\u00a0The chilling stairway that leads to the devil
Ever heard of the Pailon del Diablo? We are literally talking about the “Cauldron of the Devil”, a waterfall located on the Pastaza river which is only 30 minutes from the town of Ba\u00f1os in Ecuador.<\/p>\n

It is the most spectacular attraction of the area, but not only for the beauty of the waterfall, but for the difficulty in reaching it. To do this, in fact, you have to walk a staircase, not a simple staircase, but of the most fascinating staircase in the world.<\/p>\n

Pailon del diablo<\/h2>\n

The Pailon del Diablo is made up of 3 waterfalls, the highest being about 100 meters high. It is the most impressive waterfall in the region, visited by national and foreign tourists. It forms a vortex of such power to impress anyone. Despite its very strong stream, the water has a constant temperature of 23 degrees and its color is often a splendid turquoise.<\/p>\n

To reach the Waterfall, the trail starts from a small village called Rio Verde, about 30 minutes from the village of\u00a0Ba\u00f1os<\/a>. The trailhead for this hike\u00a0is\u00a0conveniently located at the end of the\u00a0Ruta de las Cascadas, a popular cycling route\u00a0which follows a series of impressive cascades for roughly 15 kilometers\u00a0to Rio Verde,\u00a0ending at the most spectacular waterfall of all, the\u00a0Pailon del Diablo.<\/p>\n

There is a easy hike down to the waterfall and back, but visitors should allow a few hours to both the waterfall itself, as well as the\u00a0immense hydrologic\u00a0power churning through the gorge in this portion of the river. After descending into the gorge from town, the well-marked\u00a0trail goes toward the entrance, where for\u00a0a small fee the visitors are allowed access to an impressive set of stairs carved out of the cliffs adjacent to the waterfall.<\/p>\n

For those willing to get wet, a small\u00a0cave-like trail follows the cliffs\u00a0uphill through a series of\u00a0narrow openings for a closer view of the falls . The small viewing platform at the top provides an extraordinarily vantage point to appriciate the raw power of the falls.<\/p>\n
