Banos Travel Guide - Exploring beautiful Ecuador
Banos Travel Guide - Exploring beautiful Ecuador
Baños (de Agua Santa) is a small city in the Andean highlands of Ecuador under the smoke of volcano Tungurahua. Its name, which is Spanish for Baths (of sacred water), comes from the famous hydrothermal springs in the area. It's equally popular with foreigners as with Ecuadorians, and is known as the adventure capital of Ecuador. The streets are lined with hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, and tour agents. Although it is very touristy, lots of people love it, more for the activities and surroundings than for the city itself. It's an important hub for outdoor sports and jungle tours.
Getting around is easy, just walk. Nowhere is more than a 15 minute walk from where you start and usually even less. It is relatively flat in the city centre. Also check out the mountain biking section should you wish to explore further afield. There are also plenty of taxis around should you need one. Baños is known as the Gateway to the Amazon, as it is the last city still located in the mountain region before reaching the jungle and other towns that are located in the Amazon River basin.
Baños is located at an elevation of 1,820 metres (5,971 feet) on the northern foothills of the Tungurahua volcano, whose activity has been characterized by frequent powerful ash explosions and lava flows that can be seen from Banos. The city is also a Roman Catholic religious center, as some Catholic believers say that the Virgin Mary appeared nearby a waterfall. Due to this belief, a sculpture of the virgin, called Virgen de Agua Santa, was placed in the city's cathedral.
Along with the town Pillaro, Baños is known as a good starting point for exploring the remote Llanganates National Park and its attractions including Cerro Hermoso. The city itself has a main central park across from the cathedral. Nearby waterfalls include Virgen de Agua Santa, Inés María, Agoyán, El Manto de la Novia, Pailón del Diablo and Machay.
Baños is a popular tourist destination in Ecuador due to its natural environment (it is home to more than 60 waterfalls) and its adventure sports. Locals and visitors alike undertake rafting, kayaking, canyoning, bridge jumping, hiking, biking and horseback riding. Under the Köppen climate classification, Baños has a subtropical highland climate.
La Casa Del Arbol Hailed as the Swing at the End of the World this awesome and cheap ($1pp) activity will have you sitting on a plank of wood as you sail out over the edge of a steep hill. Reachable by a 3 hour hike from Banos. There is a bigger swing called El Vuelo Del Condor. You will be strapped in a metal half-box and overlooking the city. You can go there from La Casa Del Arbol either by a bus or walk. It is very breathtaking and should be done in 5 mins. They charge you around $10 for the swing and another $5 if you want pictures.
Baños is not just well-known for it's adventures, but also for Healing and Health. A newly open Ayurvedic clinic - Bioethika Center for Healing is offering all kinds of natural Ayurvedic treatments including the special Ayurvedic massages, located at Luis A. Martinez and Thomas Haflants, just next to the Libreria Cafe. There are many studios in the centro or hostals, within 50m of each other on the same street. They all cost around $20/hour but are mostly local women without full training. The nicer spa locations around town cost $35/hour.
A lot to see in Banos such as :
La Casa del Arbol
Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Agua Santa Church
Eco Zoologico San Martín

Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Ecuador. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around Ecuador. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful and underrated Ecuador truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

Hiking to Diablo’s Cauldron | Pailon Del Diablo | Baños, Ecuador | Meet The Wards
We made a treacherous hike from from the top of a mountain down to the base where you climb up behind a waterfall known as Diablos House or Diablo’s Cauldron. This was an intense hike where you had to crawl on hands and knees in a dark cave to reach the top. The views are amazing. Here’s a little sneak peak of our hike to get there

Entry from: Baños, Ecuador
Entry Title: El Pailon del Diablo
Entry:
Baños is a tourist-filled village set in a valley at the foot of Volcano Tungurahua, which began erupting in 1999. The eruptions have calmed down a bit such that there is no longer a constant layer of ash falling upon the heads of the people of Baños, yet there apparently is still steam coming out of the volcano. I didn`t get to see any of this because the top of the volcano was covered in clouds the entire time I was there. Baños has more adventure travel agencies than any town I have ever seen. Every block you walk down has a storefront advertising jungle tours, volcano trips, white water rafting, canyoning - one place even was offering bridge jumping. However, the most popular day trip from Baños is to rent a mountain bike and to ride along the road that goes downhill towards the jungle town of Puyo. I rode downhill on a bike for 16 kilometers, and during this ride I saw more waterfalls than I have ever seen in a single day. The road follows a canyon with mountains on both sides, and water from the mountaintops runs down into the canyon everywhere, creating waterfall after waterfall. At one point I stopped to take a cable car across the canyon. The ride takes you right over a waterfall on the other side of the canyon. The highlight of the day was seeing the waterfall called El Pailon del Diablo, The Devil`s Cauldron. To get there you hike down into the canyon for about twenty minutes. The waterfall is maybe 600 feet tall, and it is so powerful that water splashes back up perhaps fifty feet after hitting the bottom. I got covered with water just standing next to the waterfall to take a picture. To get back to the town of Baños I put my bike on the back of the tourist bus and rode the 16 kilometers sitting on the roof of the bus with the other tourists - the views were great! The only drawback of sitting on the roof was the water that dripped on us when we passed through the tunnels.
