Toachi Canyon Viewpoint
Mirador del Cañón del Toachi
A lookout along the loop that overlooks the deep canyon carved by the Toachi River, with layered earth cliffs and Andean terraces that are impressive to see.
The Toachi River has cut a canyon hundreds of meters deep through layers of volcanic ash, and hikers from Quilotoa to Chugchilán must cross it. The lookout near Chugchilán offers a full view of the canyon, and it is also worth stopping when driving past. The soil in the canyon is loose, so trails become slippery after rain. Be sure to wear shoes with good grip when hiking.
