5Best Day Trip to the Puyo Region from Baños
My dad and I had the best time on our tour. Carlos our guide was so informative and amazing tour guide. We got to see so many different spots including the beautiful waterfall. On the hike, he showed us all the different medicinal plants. We also had a great visit to the indigenous community and the wildlife sanctuary, along with a beautiful sunset spot.

About Baños
Baños, in the Ecuadorian Andes, is a small town in a green valley under the Tungurahua volcano, known for hot springs and waterfalls.
Baños de Agua Santa lies at about 1,800 metres, where the Andes drop towards the Amazon basin, on the Pastaza River in Tungurahua province. The town grew around its thermal baths, fed by volcanic springs, and around the Basilica of the Virgin of the Holy Water, a pilgrimage church of dark stone. Tungurahua volcano rises above the rooftops.
