Agoyán, Natural waterfall near Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador
Agoyán is a waterfall near Baños de Agua Santa where the Pastaza River drops roughly 61 meters into an Andean gorge. The water rushes down with force, creating several powerful cascades as it descends the rocky face.
A hydroelectric plant was built upstream in the 1980s to generate power for the region. This facility altered the water flow patterns and changed the landscape around the waterfall.
The waterfall forms part of the Route of the Cascades, a collection of natural water features that define the regional identity of Tungurahua province.
The waterfall is accessible through marked trails that lead to viewing areas and are open year-round. Entry is free, and trail levels vary to suit different fitness abilities.
The hydroelectric facility was designed to preserve the natural water flow so the waterfall would maintain its powerful appearance. This represents a rare balance between energy production and environmental care in the area.
