Exceptional Tour! Exceptional Guide!

We had an amazing experience on the Papallacta Hot Springs & Spa Day Tour from Quito. The hot springs were beautiful, relaxing, and surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. It was the perfect way to unwind while enjoying Ecuador's natural beauty. A special thanks to our guide, Ayrton, who accompanied us throughout the entire tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable by sharing the history of Quito, the surrounding areas, and many interesting facts about Ecuador. His explanations were informative, engaging, and he was always attentive to everyone's needs. One thing that made the trip even more fun was getting to know Ayrton. He has a great taste in music—especially Boney M songs! The music added a fun and relaxed atmosphere to the drive and made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. If you're looking for a relaxing day trip from Quito with an excellent guide, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Ayrton, for making it such a memorable experience!

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.
