Travel Guide Ayabaca

Here we enter the pre-cordillera, at an altitude of 2 500 m. The weather is mild and the climb is nice. In the surroundings, we will find the ruins of Aypate, the petroglyphs of Samanga, the lagunas of Prieta and El Inca. We recommend you to plan just one day here, as it is not very big. However, if you want to stay one night, you can stay at the Samanga Hotel, the most recommendable in the area (the choice being very limited). Every October 13th, the Fiesta del Señor Cautivo attracts a large number of Ecuadorians and pilgrims who come here on foot. Penances and colorful shows. A festive atmosphere is guaranteed.
