TRIP OVERVIEW

 

Termas de Papallacta is a hot springs resort located 67 km East of Quito. When we drive to the area of Papallacta we cross the Andes from West to East reaching the highest point on the road at 4.000 m / 13,120 ft. From here, there could be great views of the so far unclimbed East face of Antisana, but that will depend on the weather.
Papallacta is located on the Cinnamon Trail, the route that the Spanish conqueror Francisco de Orellana took in 1542, when he crossed the Andean mountain range in search of gold and other treasures. It unexpectedly led him to discover the great Amazon River.
At an altitude of 3.220 m / 10,562 ft Papallacta has several thermal water pools and is also a gateway to the whole Ecuadorian Amazon Region.
