On the way to the hot springs we did about an hour hike . Because it was rainy it wasn’t the greatest but no fault of the tour or guide. The hot springs were wonderful with spa options such as massages if you so choose to book when you arrive . Our guide Christian was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and accommodating!

The Papallacta area is a wonderful place to visit. First, we headed to Guango Lodge for some birdwatching. Our guide, Daniel was a very knowledgeable bird guide and he pointed out a Torrent duck, a lifer for my friend and me. Even though it was raining, we still saw many birds and enjoyed our hike.
Next we went to Papallacta Hot Springs which was in a beautiful setting. A relaxing experience followed by the option of a delious lunch. I would recommend this tour.

Christian volunteered a lot of interesting information about the local area during the drive. The private reserve was beautiful and Christian was very knowledgeable about the birds and plants. The hot springs was hands-down the best I've been to. It's beautifully landscaped and very relaxing. I also had a great lunch of trout and shrimp in the lodge. Christian was very accommodating about how much time I wanted to spend there.
