Description

Escape the pace of the city and immerse yourself in an experience of wellness, fresh air, and Andean nature. We'll take you through the stunning landscapes of the páramo until we reach the renowned Termas de Papallacta resort, surrounded by the magic of the cloud forest. We'll start our day by exploring the La Isla Ecological Trail, a guided hike of about an hour along a pristine Andean river and native vegetation. During the hike, you'll breathe in the fresh mountain air, admire the local flora and, if nature allows, spot native birds in their natural habitat. After reconnecting with nature on the trail, we'll head to the thermal spa to enjoy 2 hours of total relaxation in the volcanic hot spring pools, known for their healing and restorative properties. You'll have plenty of time to relax, swim, and unwind with a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains. For those seeking an extra level of comfort, the spa area and its special treatments are optionally available (with the difference in price payable directly on site). We'll wrap up with a comfortable return to Quito, dropping you off at your point of origin.
