The platform overlooks a chasm more than 1,800 meters deep - deeper than the Grand Canyon. The Chepe train stops here for 15 minutes, allowing quick photos and local handicraft shopping.

Sunrise or sunset for best colors. Stay overnight at Posada Barrancas to see both. October to March for clearest weather.
