At the indicated time, we'll meet at the corner between Luis A. Martínez and 12 de Noviembre streets. There, we'll hop aboard a vehicle that will bring us deep into the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador.
We'll cross the famous Ruta de las Cascadas and, after an hour's drive, we'll make our first stop at the Mira Mera viewpoint. This panoramic viewpoint pays homage to the canton that welcomes you to the Amazon region—you'll love the view!
