How to reach Ecuador's hot springs

Quito for Papallacta (2 hours east, high Andes); Baños is 3–4 hours south of the capital by bus. Cuenca serves the southern listings.

Where Ecuador's springs cluster

Baños de Agua Santa — Volcano-view thermal baths in the adventure capital.
Papallacta — High-Andes hot springs on the road to the Amazon — stunning páramo setting.

Best time to visit

June–September is drier in the highlands. Baños works year-round; mornings are clearest for volcano views.

Good to know

Altitude: Papallacta sits at 3,300m — acclimatise in Quito first. Baños pairs rafting, canyoning and biking with evening soaks perfectly. The town's name literally means "baths" — thermal water is its identity.
