Private Papallacta Thermal Center and Spa Tour from Quito

Quito, Ecuador

Treat yourself to a day of pampering and relaxation at the Termas de Papallacta Spa & Resort. You’ll be driven from Quito through the Amazon jungle to the retreat center, where you’ll enjoy soothing thermal pools and optional services and activities such as massages, aroma therapy and even a hike or horseback ride.

You’ll be picked up from your Quito hotel in the morning and taken by private vehicle to the Termas de Papallacta Spa & Resort, located just 40 miles (67 km) east of Ecuador's capital.

You’ll travel through the Amazon Rainforest on the same route taken by the Spanish conquistador Francisco de Orellana, who crossed the Andes mountains and traveled the length of the Amazon River in 1542.

When you arrive, your professional guide will direct you to the retreat’s various facilities. Head to the natural thermal pools to unwind and de-stress in the soothing hot water and enjoy therapeutic hydromassages. If you wish, you can opt for special health and beauty treatments such as facials, reflexology massages and aroma therapy (optional services at additional cost).

Depending on daily demand, you can also go on a hike or horseback ride to experience the beauty of the Amazon landscape. After your time at this relaxing resort and spa, you’ll be taken back to your Quito hotel feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

This is not an active day. Most of the time is spent lazing in the thermal waters. It was quite empty when I went . The only other thing to do is have a massage and eat lunch. The massage was extremely good and unbelievably cheap and well worth the extra. The lunch was also very good. As long as you are happy to lie around, have a massage and eat it is a really relaxing and pleasant day.

Outstanding. However our tour guide spoke directly from a script. If he had kept quiet it would have been an even better day. He allowed us free time at the spa but was there if we had questions or if we needed an interpreter. Highly recommend this trip if you need a quiet, relaxing day.
