Waterfalls of Timbara...enjoy the southern Amazonia!

Hidden in the lush embrace of Ecuador’s southern Amazonia lies Timbara, a region where water, forest, and ancestral life still flow freely. Just a short trip from Zamora, this area is a treasure for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone seeking a genuine connection with the rainforest.

As a guide with deep roots in this land, I’ve explored many trails—but the waterfalls of Timbara always feel like a first-time discovery. The moment the forest canopy opens to reveal cascading water shimmering under filtered sunlight, it’s as if nature pauses to let you feel her pulse.

hese waterfalls aren’t just scenic—they are living spaces where the Kichwa and Shuar cultures have coexisted with the forest for generations. Locals often share stories of the spirits that protect these waters and the plants that heal both body and spirit.

Timbara’s trails are wrapped in the music of birds, the hum of insects, and the ever-present rhythm of water. With each step, you breathe cleaner air, hear forgotten stories, and reconnect with something essential.

why visit now?

Because places like Timbara still exist—but they need to be seen, valued, and protected. Traveling with local guides supports community conservation efforts, encourages eco-friendly tourism, and ensures that these hidden paradises remain for the next soul searching for something real.
