About This Resource
The Pailón del Diablo (Devil's Cauldron) is a spectacular waterfall near Baños, Ecuador, accessed via a dramatic series of stairs carved into the cliff face. The steep stairs descend alongside and behind the powerful 80-meter waterfall, with viewpoints that bring visitors incredibly close to the cascading water. The combination of natural power, mist, and the precarious stairs creates an thrilling experience. The stairway demonstrates how stairs provide access to natural wonders that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach safely. The site has become one of Ecuador's most popular natural attractions.
