V!VA User‘s Description

Baños is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Ecuadorian Sierra. Its full name, Baños de Agua Santa (literally, "baths of the holy waters") reflects the natural hot springs running off neighboring Volcán Tungurahua (5,023 m, 16,480 ft). The town is surrounded by a curtain of bright green mountains, rich in waterfalls, flora and fauna.
