Ecuador 2024 - We had an amazing day relaxing in the hot south in the Andes Mountains where the Amazon begins. Our tour guide Andres is very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful offering recommendations.

Great Authentic Experience - Andres went out of his way to make this a special experience by visiting a local restaurant and going on a scenic hike with cows and llamas. He was very open about sharing about Ecuadorian culture . Definitely recommend!

Fun and Relaxing - We booked a day at the Papallacta Hot Springs with LatitudeTripec, through Viator. Andrés picked us up at our hotel at the arranged time (he was a few minutes early). We then headed out of Quito towards the hot springs, with a few stops to admire the scenery along the way. Andres is knowledgeable, personable and fluent in English, making for good conversation along the drive. The Papallacta Hot Springs were truly amazing and the cool air made them even more enjoyable. Andres helped us get checked in and checked on us throughout our soak but allowed as much time in the pools as we wanted. It was a truly relaxing and magical experience. Supper was at a local, authentic Ecuadorian restaurant. Nothing fancy but the food was delicious. This tour was the perfect combination of fun and relaxing and I would highly recommend it.

Lovely and relaxing - We had a lovely time with Andres going to Papallacta. The weather was foggy and rainy, so the views along the way were not as great as expected, but that was not Andres' fault. He did an excellent job of introducing us to Papallacta and made sure we felt comfortable taking as much time as we wanted at the spa. The rain actually made the hot springs even more enjoyable, and another highlight of the trip was the lunch at a small local farm. This was a great relaxing day for us even though we would normally choose something more active.

Kind and reliable driver - Andres was awesome! As soon as we booked the excursion he messaged me on WhatsApp and asked about timing and a picture of what we looked like. It was nice to know that we would be taken care of. He was great at showing us sights and pulling over so that we could take a few photos. The small family restaurant that he brought us to for lunch was one of the best meals that we ate on our trip and it felt good to support a local family. My husband talked his ear off about sports on the way out and he was responsive and didn’t seem to mind. I was so relaxed on the way home that I fell asleep knowing that we were in good hands. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful Day! - Andres was great, from the moment he picked us up.. on the drive up to the springs he stopped and allowed us to take photos of the beautiful landscaping, forgot my bathing suit, he stopped so I could buy one. He was very professional and helpful. The springs were amazing, relaxing and the massage was the best I’ve ever had.. Nikki and Jess OMG best masseuses ever hands down. On our way back he stopped at a local place for us to eat and then dropped us back to our Airbnb. It was a lovely day. Would definitely recommend.

Great Tour Guide - Andrés is a very knowledgeable guide, extremely friendly and made the drive to the thermal waters an enjoyable one by engaging on conversation and shared his knowledge not only about the site we were visiting but also a bit of history of the country. Will definitely use his services in the future.

Top Enjoyment - Great! I real highly recommend this trip with Andres. I am traveling alone and Andre provide me many information about Ecuador. The temperature is only 9 with rain, I do think it is just perfect day to have hot spring during rainy day and trip. Put all tired away. The lunch places is just wonderful with traditional food, really original taste as grandma.Wonderful
