Top Nature Reserves in Ecuador

Pack lunch and snacks! The food options are limited and can be pricey. I enjoyed my packed picnic with stunning views instead of spending a fortune.

If you're planning on hiking, wear sturdy shoes! I learned the hard way that flip-flops just don’t cut it on those trails.

I suggest getting there early, around 8 AM, to enjoy fewer crowds and catch the morning mist. It really adds a magical vibe to the landscape.

Don't forget your camera! The viewpoints are stunning, and you'll want to capture the landscapes. But also, bring a lightweight rain jacket; the weather can be unpredictable!
