- Passenger494067916350 contributions100% must do in BañosEntire experience was amazing!!! The crew at the shop was super helpful and friendly and the tour guide was so nice. I 100% would recommend doing this when in Baños. We slid down 3 waterfalls and repelled 4. One of the coolest experiences I have ever done and well worth the price!Written 22 January 2025
- davidfB6445ES0 contributionsA special day in the Canyon with my sonsThe guides provided a variety of experiences (Rappelling, zip-lining & plunging) throughout the day allowing us to challenge and enjoy ourselves. Was especially impressed with the way they took our safety into consideration without taking any of the fun away. The inclusive lunch after the canyoning and pictures/videos that they took which were all included capped off a very special day for me and my three adult sons. Highly recommend this team of professionals!Written 10 December 2024

He really helped provide my son with the confidence to tackle even the largest waterfalls. My son and I both felt safe with Mateo as our guide. We were the only ones on the tour so it was extra special. We went to the Rio Blanco waterfall. We repelled, zip lined and slid down multiple waterfalls.

We found this canyoning activity online and it looked really cool. When we inquired with Ivaga, we found out they also did zip lining and white water rafting. We ended up booking three tours with Ivaga. They even coordinated transportation to/from Quito for our family of four. The owner was very helpful and responsive. Alberto, the driver and Canyoning guide, was very enthusiastic, punctual and flexible. The other Canyoning guide, Mateo, made us feel safe on the excursion, while at the same time, watching his bravery and tricks was entertaining in itself. The white water rafting was operated by a different company but we had a good experience with them as well. The Canyoning is not for the faint of heart. It is pure adrenaline and great for teenagers, but, we the parents, also loved it! Lunch was included with the Canyoning, which as good, but could have had a little more quantity and had to buy an ice cream to fill us up (not the worst thing in the world). While strolling through Banos, we would walk by the agency and see our guides and the owner. We ran into one of our guides at dinner. By the time we left, we felt like we were part of the community and had friends in Banos...all of whom were from Ivagatours. There are many tour companies in Banos, but this one is top notch and does not disappoint!

A friend and I were on team VIP with Alberto and Mateo and wow they were incredible!! The best word I can use to describe the experience is epic. I felt very safe the whole time and the guides brought the best attitude and energy throughout the entire trip. You 1000% get your money's worth with photos/videos, the canyoning experience, and lunch included. I highly highly recommend - I am a thrill seeker and this satisfied every adventurous bone in my body.

This was an incredible trip. In fact, we did the 5 hour canyoneering trip, a half-day ATV quad trip, and the Adventure Park San Martin, with this guide outfit.
Each trip was amazing! The company is not pushy, very helpful, and authentic. I'd highly recommend working with them for doing trips out of Baños.
I have confidence that they can organize any trip well.
And, I'd frankly recommend the exact adventure 'programs' that we did, especially if you want to push your comfort zone by a LOT. I'm a pretty rugged, fit guy, paraglider, trail runner, etc.
These trips were so fun, but maybe best for adults who are who ready to push their limits in terms of risks.
All of the activities are run safely, but you aren't coddled like a child like you would be in the US.
Canyoneering , for example, you just are told to jump 24ft into a raging waterfall. 1–2-3. Go!

Canyoning with Ivagatours was one of the best things we’ve done during our four months travelling around South America. The adrenaline highs you get from jumping off and rappelling down the waterfalls are awesome. The setting in the canyon is spectacular and beautiful, we even saw a female ‘cock of the rock’ nesting with a baby bird while in the canyon. Mateo, Alberto and Jeraldi were excellent guides - professional and fun with a great energy. Mateo explained all the safety instructions very well before we got started, and all three guys helped us in the canyon to make sure we were staying safe while still having heaps of fun. If you love adventure I wouldn’t go past this activity in Baños. Also, the included lunch was delicious!

Last week I went with my wife to the canyoning adventure in Cashaurco from the Ivagatours agency. We decided on them because of the excellent service and information they gave us and the trust they gave us. The route is beautiful, the impressive landscapes that the transparent waters of the Negro River have carved into the rock are worth seeing and experiencing. Our guides, Mateo and Alberto, are experts in handling the equipment, keeping the spirit high and providing the security that is needed in an activity like this. Thank you for promoting adventure tourism in Ecuador. Sexy Tigers Team is the best!

My wife and I went canyoning with Ivagatours out of Banos, Equador. This was our second canyoning experience, having also done canyoning in Dominica. We are active 60 year olds and had no problem navigating the canyon with the assistance of our guides. What a thrill!
Our day started early at Ivagatours office in Banos. We were greeted by smiling, friendly staff and found that we were the only two participants on the tour that day. Three young men were our guides and they were outstanding! Mateo, Steven, and Daniel made the experience safe and enjoyable during our incredible day. Following a 40 minute drive to the canyon, we found the river too high & rough to start. Safety was the number one concern. We were driven back to a small town (approximately 15 minutes) to a restaurant where we would also have lunch later in the day. After about an hour, the sun came out and we returned to the canyon to find conditions had improved and the river at a safe level.
We donned wet suits, helmets, & sneakers and did 3 jumps of 4,8, and 10 meters, two rappels, and a float down over a small waterfall & zip line. Mateo, Steven, and Daniel did all the rigging safely with quality equipment. They were very knowledgeable and made the whole adventure fun. They were SO positive & we felt they actually enjoyed what they were doing. We always felt safe during our challenging but thrilling experience.
Afterward, we were able to change into dry clothes at a local facility and then returned to the small village restaurant where we had an amazing lunch with a delicious potato soup to start, then a choice of local trout, chicken, meat, and vegetables. It was wonderful. Returned to Banos and received a link to a video of our adventure. Great memories.
All in all a fun, challenging, and thrilling experience! I would definitely recommend Ivagatours for Canyoning in Banos, Ecuador. Thank you Mateo, Steven, and Daniel for a GREAT day and a thrilling but safe experience!

This excursion was one of the best in Ecuador so far. It was seamless from beginning to end, starting with the transportation then training and finally the main event! Matteo and Alfredo were the best making sure we enjoyed every possible view, jump, swim, and repel through the beautiful waterfalls.

One of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life. Amazing nature and views. The two guides with us (Mateo and Alex) were so energetic and kind and made the whole experience that much more fun. They were highly trained and managed to keep everyone having a great time. Lunch was delicious. I usually don’t like fresh water fish but it was so fresh and grilled so well and just amazing. I really enjoyed this tour and although it’s a bit more expensive than the shorter one I would highly suggest that people go on the full day because time passes so quickly in the canyons.
