Hotel

By Katie Tibbetts

Located just 40 miles east of Quito, the Termas de Papallacta Spa, Resort, and Convention Center is quite literally a world unto its own. For a city escape, make the trip to this inviting retreat perched high in the Andean valley. Stay at the hotel or in one of the cabins and enjoy the mountain-view hot pools day and night. The hotel restaurant is the best (and just about the only) choice in the area.

When you’ve had enough poolside relaxation, dry off and head to one of the resort’s other pamper-yourself facilities. You can choose to revitalize your body with a variety of therapies, massages, and tailor-made treatments—their exclusive “Thermal Club” is a great opportunity to really relax and revamp.

The area is also home to an abundance of flora and fauna, which can be explored via a number of walking trails. Guided ecological tours are available. As if the pools themselves weren’t draw enough, the resort also has an onsite restaurant, where you can soak your senses in the flavors of international and national delicacies. Thanks to its beauty and promise of a relaxing getaway, this place is packed on weekends and during holidays: be sure to reserve early.

The most economical way to stay at the Termas de Papallacta is to share one of the six or eight-person cabins. Bring your own group of six or eight, however: there is no dormitory-style lodging there.

Traveler Reviews of Termas de Papallacta

Very Relaxing

Rating: 100%

Termas de Papallacta is a very relaxing place. It is worth spending that bit extra to stay overnight at the spa - when you do that you get access to a different and quieter set of pools.

Rating: 100%

The service, the food and the hot springs are very nice and unique, you can pay a couple of dollars and get wireless access so you can work and enjoy the place at the same time. We will come back for sure.
