Itinerary
We will pick you up at your hotel in Quito to start the drive towards to Papallacta area, through magical views of the eastern Andes. This journey will take us 1 hour and half with some stops along the way to get to know about The Polilepys Forest and the Virgin of the Grasslands (located at 12300 ft., this is the highest elevation that we will go over of the all trip). Upon our arrival in Papallacta, we will take you for 1-hour hike around the Andean forest. This is a fantastic opportunity to take photos and admire the nature at 11,000 ft (it is high but the hike is not too heavy). Once we arrive from the hike, you will have time for a traditional lunch on your own at Termas de Papallacta restaurant. After this, we invite you to relax at the thermal water pools and enjoy these natural springs that come from the volcano. As additional if you prefer you can take one massages and body treatments at the SPA (NOT INCLUDED IN OUR PROGRAM). Finally, we will drive back to your hotel in Quito.

About Quito
Quito, Ecuador's high Andean capital, has one of the best-preserved colonial centres in Latin America, ringed by volcanoes and green mountains.
The historic centre was among the very first places named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its churches, plazas and monasteries are spectacular. La Compañía de Jesús glows with gold leaf inside, the Basilica del Voto Nacional has gargoyles shaped like Ecuadorian animals, and Plaza Grande is surrounded by the cathedral and the presidential palace.
Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
