About Baños

Baños de Agua Santa is Ecuador's adventure capital — a compact town in a dramatic valley at the foot of the active Tungurahua volcano, where the Andes transition into the Amazon basin. The town is famous for its natural hot springs (fed by volcanic activity), the spectacular Ruta de las Cascadas (Route of Waterfalls) with the dramatic Pailón del Diablo waterfall, and a dizzying array of adventure activities: zip-lining, bridge jumping, canyoning, white-water rafting, and the famous "Swing at the End of the World" at Casa del Árbol with views of Tungurahua. The Basilica of the Virgen de Agua Santa, the taffy-pulling tradition (melcocha), and the gateway excursions into the Amazon rainforest make Baños one of Ecuador's most popular destinations.
