Termas Papallacta Resort & Spa |
|
Termas de Papallacta" Hot Springs SPA & RESORT is
located 67 kilometers east of the city of Quito, at only one and a half
hour's distance, in the paved Highway on the way to Baeza.
This marvelous Spa & Resort is located on the Cinnamon
Trail, the same route that the Spaniards took in 1542 on their way to
discover the great Amazon River. However, despite the fact that this place
is located in the Ecuadorian Highlands, at an altitude of 3,220 meters
above sea level, Papallacta is the entry door to the Ecuadorian Amazon
Region.
Due to altitude and humidity that comes from the
Amazon, the climate is cold and humid, with an average environmental
temperature between 10o to 14o C. Upon arrival
at Papallacta, you will began to feel the beneficial effects of the
life-giving, diaphanous air which originates in a singular meeting of
the Amazonian winds with the rocks, forests and water of the high
Andean. Papallacta is privileged located in an
area between two Andean-Equatorial majestic volcanoes; namely, Cayambe
and Antisana. The thermal waters feeding the
Papallacta fountains emerge from deep geological layers through
fissures up to the surface with all its healthy properties.
