Las Latas Waterfall
Cascada de Latas
A rainforest waterfall reached after about an hour of wading and hiking up a stream, with natural swimming pools along the way.
Las Latas Waterfall lies beside the Tena to Misahuallí road. From the entrance, you walk upstream along the Ungui River, wading through the creek and climbing over rocks for about an hour to reach a waterfall around 15 metres high. Several clear natural pools along the way are ideal for swimming. It is a popular half-day outing for experiencing a rainforest gorge. A local community charges a small entry fee at the entrance, and guides can be hired there. Wear non-slip water shoes and swimwear, and turn back if heavy rain has raised the river.
