The landscape and the natural beauty of the charms of Pastaza offer the best options to visitors and scientists who wish to know the impressive vegetation, fauna, immense rivers, waterfalls, and other fascinating places of the east of Ecuador.

The name of the city is because it is located on the banks of the Puyo River. In turn, Puyo comes from the word puyu which means haze in Quichua. Located on the outer flanks of the eastern cordillera of the Andes, in the Amazon Region of Ecuador, in the west of the province of Pastaza; approximately one hour from Baños along a very good quality road. It is located at 924 m. above sea level, at a latitude of 0 ° 59 ‘-1 “S and a longitude of 77 ° 49’ 0” W.

From Puyo we will head back into the Andes to the city of “Baños de Agua Santa”.
