Wild Camping - Amazon - Baños - Ecuador

Image
 Wild camp at Piedra de la Luz, a 5km (2 hour) hike from Ulba, near Baños, Tungurahua, Ecuador.  This is the gateway to the Amazon and our wild camp site has a legendary view of the Andes, over the rainforest. We provide a bathroom, an honesty bar, and a space to pitch a tent or put up your hammock.

  Local legend in Banos is that the mythological Carbunclo creature used la Piedra de la Luz as a resting place and look out from the Avenue of the Volcanoes to the Amazon rainforest.
