Itinerary
Day 1
Papallacta Hot Springs
We will pick you up at your hotel in Quito to start the trip to the Papallacta area, through magical views of the eastern Andes. This trip will take us 1 hour and a half with some stops along the way to visit the Polilepys Forest and the Virgen de los Pajonales (located at 12,300 feet, this is the highest elevation that we will pass on the entire trip).
Upon our arrival in Papallacta, we will take you on a 1-hour hike around the Andean forest. This is a fantastic opportunity to take photos and admire nature at 11,000 feet (it's high, but the hike isn't too strenuous). Once we arrive from the hike, you will have time for a traditional lunch on your own at the Termas de Papallacta restaurant.
After this, we invite you to relax in the hot spring pools and enjoy these natural springs that come from the volcano. As an additional if you prefer you can take one of the massages and body treatments in the SPA (NOT INCLUDED IN OUR PROGRAM).
Finally, we will drive back to your hotel in Quito.
