Expérience privée d'une journée complète aux sources chaudes de Papallacta

Andres was an amazing guide. He took great care of me throughout the entire tour and thoughtfully customized the itinerary based on my requests. I also loved the local restaurant he recommended—it was absolutely delicious! Papallacta was a truly beautiful natural hot spring with breathtaking views. I enjoyed a bamboo massage and a facial treatment, and the therapist was incredibly skilled. It was such a relaxing and memorable experience. I truly loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ecuador.

You must take the massage - best I have ever had! Andres is the most knowledgeable, kind guide. Patient, flexible- nothing isi too much trouble. The drive up to the doings was spectacular. The springs were AMAZING! Seven fantastic pools! The massage was out of this world and only £40 for 45 mins! I felt happy and fantastic after! Thank you Andres! You are a special person !

My wife and I spent a magical day at the Papallacta Hot Springs with Andrés as our guide, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment he picked us up, it was clear we were in excellent hands. The drive through the Andes was stunning, and Andrés transformed it into a living classroom — sharing the history, culture, and landscapes of Ecuador with genuine passion and warmth. He has a remarkable gift for storytelling that made every mile of that journey as memorable as the destination itself. At the hot springs, we were never once made to feel rushed. Andrés gave us all the time we needed to soak in the thermal pools and simply breathe in the breathtaking mountain surroundings. By the time we reluctantly made our way back, we were refreshed, relaxed, and full of gratitude for the day he had given us. What truly set Andrés apart was his genuine care for us as people, not just as passengers. His English is excellent, his personality is warm and easy-going, and his enthusiasm for sharing his country is infectious. By the end of the day, it felt like we'd spent it with an old friend who happened to know Ecuador inside and out. As the tour wound down, Andrés capped off the day by sharing restaurant and activity recommendations for our remaining time in Quito — every one of them was a hit. His suggestions shaped our entire following day in the city, extending his wonderful influence well beyond the tour itself. If you're visiting Quito, do not miss this tour — and make sure you request Andrés. He made our day absolutely extraordinary, and it stands out as one of the highlights of our entire trip.

The Papallacta hot springs are beautiful, especially when the cool mist rolls in through the mountains. They are clean and well managed and a great way to relax. Andrés took care of us very well. He got in touch straight away about preparations and was very responsive to messages beforehand. We loved the delicious local lunch (chicken soup and trout). Highly recommend the trip as a very enjoyable way to see the hot springs.

Me and my mum had an amazing time at the Papallacta hot springs! The guide has been very thoughtful, informative and kind. The scenery was beautiful at the hot springs, it was the most relaxing time for us during our trip to Ecuador. The guide has shown us incredible local food and we learned a lot during this tour. We had the best time, definitely recommend! Thank you very much!

My guide was amazing. He made it a perfect trip for me. He gave a very balanced, almost personalized right for me, tour. It was both fun and informative! Also, he made my experience at the spa great! He was helpful in moving through the experience with ease

Great experience with hot springs, very relaxing. The dinner at local restaurant was fantastic ! Simple bur bur very tasty. Highly recommended.

Day 2 in Quito and we chose the full day experience at Papallacta Hot Springs. Shortly after booking, Andrés was in contact to introduce himself and provided us with what we needed for the visit. The night before he provided the pick up time. On the day of the trip he promptly arrived to our hotel and we were on our way. He provided insights about Quito, his home since he was born. Our trip through the Andes to get to Papallacta was stunning. We were very lucky when Andrés spotted a bear and cubs. We stopped for some photos and then on our way. After arriving to the Hot Springs, we scheduled our spa treatments (which were awesome) and then spent time in the thermal pools and cold pool. Upon leaving, Andrés took us to a local family restaurant (Casita de Palo) he and his family had visited. My wife had the chicken soup, I had trout and we shared a Pilsner. We lucked out once again because there were some local friends playing music and singing. What a pleasant surprise and enjoyable late lunch. We left full and arrived back to the hotel about 7 and 1/2 hours after the day began. Andrés was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, easy to talk to and his English is spectacular. He never rushed us at the hot springs and because of this he made the day a total enjoyment. Can’t recommend him enough. We’ll definitely be in touch with him should we return to Quito.

Andres was a good driver and answered all our queries. We stopped in a couple of mirador areas. Beautiful. The Termas springs was a relaxing experience.
