Thermal springs are medicinal that dissipate your mind and heal your body from minor tensions. You will find yourself in the middle of an old caldera that has had a lot of seismic activity thousands years ago. Papallacta is a genuine paradise. A paradisiacal spot for body and soul.

This tour was amazing! Our guide Eduardo was very knowledgable about this history and ecology of both Quito and Papallacta. I loved listening to his stories and facts during the drive. The experience at the hot springs was unlike anything I've ever seen. It was so relaxing and beautiful. It was very enjoyable to cap off the tour with a refreshing hike and a scenic drive back to Quito.

If You wish to experience a bit of uniqueness of Ecuador and have not much time, I highly recommend this tour guided by Eduardo. He will bring You to the unique journey through the Andes, followed with explanations of its specificity concerning the ecosystems, its variety and synergies in-between, historian background, and will answer any of your question on demand. He will stop at a unique local tortilla baking place where You will taste it with a cup of local coffee. Then he will guide You shortly through the unforgettable peace of nature at the entrance to Amazon rain forest, full of unique species of plants, living in synergy. You will see the wild plants, river and amazing species of birds with full explanation. And you will finalize this by spectating amazingly colorful different species of colibri birds' feeding their self. Finally You will take a cup of tea in local gazebo and move forward to volcanic hot springs at Papallacta, which are heaven for Your soul and body. After relaxing in volcanic SPA, you may taste a very delicious typical Ecuadorian food at the same place. Very exceptional almost full-day experience, highly recommended to go with Eduardo - very informative and safe!

Un día maravilloso en Ecuador, y con suerte en la mañana disfrutamos de un buen clima, son muchas anécdotas, emociones, encontrarme con verdadera naturaleza rodeada de flores de varias formas y colores, caminos antiguos rodeados de montañas, paisajes diferentes que no estamos acostumbrados a ver, a cada paso encontramos pájaros de distintas clases, un conejo cruzando el camino, luego de quedarnos totalmente impactados al haber conocido y visto un hermoso paisaje natural escondido entre el contraste de la neblina y el sol que rodeaba la mañana y de pronto ver el maravilloso volcán Antisana fue algo increíble. Al seguir caminando veíamos una serie de lagunas que se encontraban como manantiales en las laderas. Continuamos hacía la reserva de colibríes que también fue un lugar maravilloso cerca del rio. Por ultimo visitamos las piscinas de agua caliente para relajarnos. La comida también estuvo deliciosa en especial la trucha con una salsa especial. Nuestro guía Eduardo muy conocedor de la zona y muy amable nos contó la importancia de los lugares que visitamos. Realmente disfrutamos este día en su compañía. Muy segura de recomendarles este lugar en las montañas de Ecuador.
