Begin your journey with private transport from Baños towards the peaceful Zunac River, a scenic 40-minute drive surrounded by lush Andean landscapes.
Upon arrival, your guide will provide all the necessary gear—wetsuit, life jacket, and water shoes—before introducing you to the traditional hand-fishing method practiced by local communities. Feel the thrill of catching the native Andean catfish, known as “carachama,” using only a line and your own hands, just as generations have done for centuries.
Once the fishing is complete, you’ll be welcomed by a friendly local family to enjoy a riverside barbecue prepared with fresh ingredients.
This immersive 4-hour experience blends outdoor adventure, cultural tradition, and authentic hospitality, making it an ideal way to discover the true spirit of Baños and its surroundings before returning comfortably to the Baños city.
