Relaxing no-hassle day trip - My cousins were looking to get to Papallacta, and Quito Tour Bus took us there swiftly, but with lots of interesting information and a great stop to view the volcano Antisana. The hot spring waters were great too, and the hike afterwards was leisurely and beautiful. Many thanks to our guide Irene and driver Ivan!

Sit back and relax! - We had the pleasure of going to the Aguas Termales de Papallacta. On our way we had an amazing tour guide. Mauro is amazingly smart! He knows so much about Ecuadorian food, traditions, floral and fauna, and folklore. We learned so much on our trajectory towards the thermal waters. Once we arrived we got to relax in the thermal pools. We even challenged ourselves and went into the cold pool. It was such a nice and relaxing day and got to learn a lot more about Ecuador! Definitely recommend booking and ask for Mauro. Thank you Mauro and Jaime (our driver) for a wonderful day!

Magus - you are incredible!!! - I enjoyed such a relaxing day with Magus! It was so amazing to connect with her while enjoying a nature walk, hot springs, lunch & drive through the gorgeous landscape. Magus was able to answer many of my curiosities & enlighten me on Ecuadorian culture. My life is truly changed forever & my heart will always be filled with joy when I remember my day of relaxation in Ecuador. Thank you for taking photos of me!

Perfect tour to relax and rejuvenate - This tour is perfect to relax and rejuvenate after all the hiking and activity of your other tours. We opted out of the optional hike in this tour and headed straight to the spa.
Our guide Irene was incredible! She was very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and made sure we were completely taken care of. Thank you for an incredible time!

Fun Day trip from Quito - We had a great day at Papallacta and the tour was really nice! I appreciated doing a short hike prior to going to the Hot Springs as it was neat to see the plants of the nature preserve as well as the river that runs into the springs. It made the hot springs all the more enjoyable. Our guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable, and provided great information. It also felt very relaxed; we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the springs. It was a bit more crowded being on a Sunday, but overall it was a wonderful day and terrific experience!

The Most Beautiful Hot Springs Tucked Away in the Andes! - The drive from Quito to Papallacta was incredible. The hot springs are beautiful and the hike along the River was really pretty. Our soak was wonderful with not many people. We’ll stay overnight next time!

Fun but crowded - Smooth ride there and the hot springs were beautiful. The hot springs themselves were more of a water park than a relaxing experience that seemed to be advertised. Honestly not sure it was worth the price. Entry fee was only a few dollars

Great place and guide, bad attendance over the phone - The guide and driver were great! Very friendly and know very well the place! Great relaxing place.
The girl that attends over the phone is not polite and friendly at all. She put a pick up time that has a 30min range, the bus still arrive late after the maximum and get nervous when you try to call. And the traffic in Quito is not that bad to justify a delay over 30min. Still this girl should take some classes of customer mindset and attendance.
