A few hours of relaxation in hot spring waters

A lovely few hours to relax at the end of a mammouth trip. Carlos was mine and another travellers guide and picked us up in the car navigating through the Quito traffic and roads to palpallachata which is about 60 to 90mins away. Opted out of the hike as it was a bit cold and feeling the alltitude. Decided to upgrade to the spa rather than the public pools and had a massage. You can use the public pools but you will have to walk between them if you want too. Stopped by the lake on the way home for a few minutes.
