TOURS / BAÑOS 2D/1N / CTH-L

Baños is a small peaceful town, a three-hour drive south of Quito. This quaint Andean town is surrounded by snowcapped volcanoes and has wonderful healthy hot spring waters. For years it has been the place to which Ecuadorians make pilgrimages to honor the Virgen de Agua Santa (Our Lady of the Holy Water), whose statue is housed in the basilica in the center of town. This Virgin is credited with many miracles, including saving the lives of travelers when a bridge over the Pastaza River collapsed, and saving people from a fire in Guayaquil. The walls of the basilica are hung with paintings depicting these miracles.

Trip to the south to the provinces of Cotopaxi and Tungurahua. On the way to Baños, you will stop to visit the Salasaca Indian community. These people are experts weaving textiles and rugs woven on their traditional looms. Arrival to Baños.
