RE: The Prettiest River Confluence I've seen so Far

in #bescouted7 years ago

The "Pastaza" River (also known in its origins as "Sumatara" river) is another of the beautiful currents belonging to the Amazon River basin, which runs through the border regions between Peru and Ecuador; moving from the area surrounding the "Tungurahua" volcano in Ecuador, to Peruvian lands, crossing the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes.
Now, observe how there are two other rivers that converge in the "Pastaza" river: the "Machay" river and the "Blanco" river:

The white waters of the "Pastaza" River are born from the union of the "El Altar" river with the "Chambo" river, in the foothills of the "Tungurahua" volcano, in the province that has the same name and next to the town of "Baños", Ecuador. (Note that almost all of these areas, you have been showing them in your posts). The "Pastaza" river is inserted in the Eastern "Cordillera of the Andes", forming the "Agoyán water fall", which reaches about 60 meters in altitude, and where the hydroelectric plant of the same name is located:


Agoyan Hydroelectric Power Plant: The beauty of nature and the strength of the waters, also come together in a work that benefits man.



Hanging bridge, on the edge of the "Pailón del Diablo" waterfall that owes its name to one of the rocks that, if you look carefully from the bridge, has the devil's features (I think I can see it). It is a waterfall about 80 meters high and 20 meters deep formed by the waters of the "Verde River", which originates in the "Pàramos Los LLanganates" and empties into the "Pastaza" River.

In my opinion this travel through Ecuador, I think is one of the most spectacular trips that you have done; nature is showing you a huge amount of amazing and magical landscapes.
