Timeline
16:58
Grab an early bite or a coffee at Casa Hood. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for settling in before the evening rush. Check that they are open; they close at 22:15, so this is a safe window.
17:58
Walk to Puente San Fransisco. This bridge spans the deep Pastaza Gorge and offers a dramatic vantage point. Arrive thirty minutes before the sun dips below the horizon to secure a good spot for the final glow.
18:28
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting the gorge in warm light. Enjoy the view from the world-class bungee jumping site as the day ends.
19:13
Head to Leprechaun Bar for a drink. It is the happening place for travellers and hip people in Baños. The front bar has a large dance floor with a DJ, and there is a smaller floor upstairs. It is a great place to unwind after the evening chill.
Local tip
The bridge is a popular spot. Get there early to find a comfortable place to sit or stand. After sunset, it gets cool in the gorge, so bring a light layer.
