Papallacta EcuadorPapallacta Hot Springs It lies in a humid mountain forest, on the road which leads into the Amazon Rain forest, it only takes 2 hours to get there. It is surrounded by beautiful landscapes full of nature and the majestic Antisana Volcano. These waters have been put into pools, where the temperature fluctuates between 36 and 42 ºC (97 and 108 ºF). First the feet, then the legs to the knees, then the torso... Thus gradually, the visitors of the thermal springs of Papallacta submerge in pools. The reason for this ritual is that to the thermal water is attributed the power to alleviate illnesses such as arthritis, acne, digestive problems or bad circulation. There is a therapy followed by most people who visit Termas de Papallacta (hot springs), they submerge into the pools of very hot water and next to it into the freezing waters of the river that comes right from the mountain. This therapy is highly recommended for people who suffer of kidneys problems. A hike into the moorlands or a Birdwatching Activity is highly recommended before the hot baths.
