Papallacta is a small Ecuadorian highlands village located at the Andes mountain range (east side) and about 1.5-hour from Quito. This town has an altitude of 3,300 m. This road also leads into the Amazon jungle. Papallacta is known for its famous hot springs. These thermal volcanic waters feed Papallacta's many tourist complex arising from deep geological layers through fissures up to the surface with all its healthy potential. The source temperature of the thermal baths varies between 30°C and 70°C (86°F and 158°F). At some pools the temperature ranges from 36°C to 38°C (97°F to 100.4°F). Papallacta's thermal waters contain sulfates, sodium, calcium, chloride and traces of magnesium which are odorless, colorless but have a slightly salty taste.

    I was a solo traveler on the one-day tour from Quito to Papallacta Hot Springs. Communication was excellent re: trip confirmation and logistics, and everything was punctual. My driver and guide, Angel, was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area and it’s flora & fauna. He was bilingual in Spanish & English and also taught me some Quechua! On the way to the springs, we stopped for a landscape photo op & at a cute café (La Quiteñita) for some hot chocolate. We then went for an easy hike (about 1 hour) in the Parque Nacional Cayambe-Coca, where we saw llamas & walked over and along a river. It was a bit chilly & drizzling, so a light fleece or rain jacket is recommended. At the springs, there was the option to go into the public thermal pools (included) or upgrade to the private pools for $14 extra. As it was a Sunday and the last day of summer vacation for local schools, the public pools were very crowded so I decided to upgrade. There were many less people & it was very relaxing! After about 2 hours in the pools, we left & went for a delicious lunch. Then we headed back to Quito and had time to stop at the Artisan Market near the Plaza Foch. Everything about this itinerary was excellent!

    It was a private tour to Papallacta Hot Springs. It's quite a long way from Quito. We had a snack from a local little restaurant as soon as we got there. Then we went on a hike in the area after booking services at the resort. Make sure to take a light raincoat as it's drizzling all the time. Also, take appropriate shoes that can handle mud and slippery surfaces. It was a beautiful hike. We had lunch at the same restaurant we went in the morning. The local food was quite wonderful. Papallacta Hot Springs is such a relaxing place. Make sure to book a massage or any of their spa services. My only complaint about this tour is our tour guide. I wish he spoke better English. It seemed like he was struggling a little when we had qustions. This tour also includes the indigenous market in Quito.
