Three cloud-forest waterfalls, mountain views, and a traditional sugar cane demonstration outside Guayaquil.
A private full-day trip into the cloud forest above Bucay, hiking to and swimming beneath three separate waterfalls, learning how a traditional sugar cane press works, and enjoying a traditional Ecuadorian lunch, with spectacular views of the Bucay Mountains along the way.
A private day trip with your own guide and driver — the cloud forest hike to the waterfalls is on foot, but transportation to and from Bucay is entirely private.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.

Bucay — officially the canton of General Antonio Elizalde — sits at a genuine geographic hinge point, roughly two hours inland from Guayaquil at the exact spot where Ecuador's coastal lowlands give way to the first slopes of the Andes. That boundary position is what makes the area a cloud forest in the first place: moist air pushing in from the Pacific coast rises and cools against the first highland terrain, keeping the hillsides permanently damp and densely forested in a way the drier, flatter coastal land farther west isn't. It's also why the drive up produces the kind of mountain views this trip is built around.
The three waterfalls on the hike each have their own name and character rather than being interchangeable stops: Las Mellizas ("the twins"), around 45 meters; Chorrera del Amor, roughly 30 meters and sometimes used by other operators for rappelling; and Isabela, the tallest of the three at roughly 90 meters. Reaching them means walking real cloud-forest trail between stops, through vegetation noticeably different from the drier lowlands around Guayaquil itself.
The trapiche stop — a traditional sugar cane press — is a working piece of rural technology rather than a staged demonstration. Cane is fed through a set of rollers, historically turned by hand or by oxen, to extract raw juice, which is then boiled down into panela, the unrefined cane sugar still widely used in Ecuadorian home cooking in place of refined white sugar. It's a genuine look at a small-farm process that predates industrial sugar refining by centuries and is still how a good deal of rural Ecuador actually produces its sugar today.
