Hotels in Papallacta

There is really only one hotel in the small village of Papallacta: the well-known Thermas de Papallacta. You are here at 3300 meters altitude at the foot of the Antisana volcano. Hot volcanic sulphurous water flows here from countless springs, in which it is wonderful to stay. Next to the hotel (with several private baths that are reserved for its own customers) are the very beautiful and large public baths. About five kilometers further along a paved road you come to an entrance to the enormous natural park Cayambe-Coca. Despite the fact that you are not far from Quito here, it is usually very quiet here. Only weekends and holidays can be busy at times. You can put on Papallacta if you are in transit to the Amazon rainforest.

WHY TRAVEL TO ECUADOR?

Indian woman from SalasacasIn South America, Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but the country is hugely diverse in terms of geography, climate and population. You can visit the Andes, the Amazon rainforest as well as the tropical coast without taking extremely long domestic flights or transfers. And then you have the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime experience. The diversity of flora and fauna per square mile is enormous. Ecuador is South America in a nutshell. Moreover, the country is relatively safe and little visited. The national currency is the USD and you have a wide choice of direct flights to Quito and Guayaquil from Europe and the United States.
