Overview

Looking for the perfect way to spend your last day in Quito? Escape the city and relax in the famous Papallacta Hot Springs, a natural sanctuary high in the Andes. Located on the road to the Amazon, Papallacta sits inside an ancient volcanic caldera where geothermal waters have flowed for thousands of years. These mineral-rich hot springs are known for their relaxing and therapeutic properties, making them the perfect place to recharge after your travels.

Surrounded by beautiful Andean landscapes, you will enjoy views of the páramo ecosystem, clear mountain lagoons, and unique high-altitude plants. Papallacta lies between the Cayambe-Coca and Antisana Ecological Reserves, two of Ecuador’s most important natural areas.

The highlight of this tour is soaking in warm thermal pools while admiring the dramatic Andean mountains and volcanic landscapes, one of the most beautiful natural landmarks near Quito.

Perfect for nature lovers and wellness seekers.
