Many people have been wondering, \u201chow far is Papallacta from <\/span>Quito<\/span><\/a>?\u201d and to address this common question, we\u2019ve prepared the following blog just for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Papallacta, a humble little village named after potatoes (<\/span>papa-llacta<\/span><\/i> means potato land, in Kichwa) is a common household name in Ecuador, and not because of its potatoes. This high-altitude (3,300 meters above sea level \/ 10,827 feet) town is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike due to its natural, volcanic, thermal baths.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is Papallacta?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re starting in <\/span>Quito<\/span><\/a>, Papallacta is an easy hour away, by car or bus. If you\u2019re with a good driver in a modern car (the increase in altitude often causes older cars to suffer and go at snail pace), you can get there in as little as 45 minutes. Papallacta is located 67 kilometers east of Quito, nestled in the Ecuadorian Andes and in the direction of other popular destinations like Baeza, <\/span>Tena<\/a>, <\/span>and Misahuall\u00ed. You can also <\/span>get to Ba\u00f1os<\/span><\/a> along this route.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 3,300 meters above sea level, you can expect fog, drizzle and cold temperatures, which makes it a perfect place to appreciate the thermal baths. Quite often, the sun comes out, exposing breathtaking views of Volcano Antisana and the surrounding high-altitude cloud forest. The area is rich in bird life, and also home to the Spectacled Bear.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s really no reason why you shouldn\u2019t visit this nearby destination, especially since you\u2019re guaranteed a relaxing, Ecuadorian experience, for a <\/span>very<\/span><\/i> affordable price.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"What<\/span><\/p>\n

What to do in Papallacta?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Considering how close Papallacta is from Quito, you should definitely try to squeeze a day there, or at least an evening, into your itinerary. This is especially convenient if you\u2019re headed to Tena or the deeper <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a> from here. Even if you plan to return to Quito that same day (or night!), a visit to Papallacta is worth your while.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thermal baths<\/b><\/h3>\n

As you enter Papallacta, you\u2019ll notice a few different signs directing you to various thermal baths. <\/span><\/p>\n

The most popular establishment is called \u201c<\/span>Termas de Papallacta,\u201d<\/span><\/a> which offers clean pools in an aesthetically pleasing setting. The pools are set in a beautiful garden and you can sit along natural rocks. You also have access to changing rooms and bathrooms – as well as a restaurant – all for $9 per adult. Try to visit the baths on a Monday or Tuesday, if you can, Friday to Sunday tends to be quite busy.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want a fancier experience and have the money for it, head to the Termas de Papallacta SPA (right next to the regular $9 entrance for the pools), which is cleaner and more exclusive. Entry is $22 per person and you get a swimming cap. There, you can receive massages and other spa treatments. <\/span>Note: this is still at Termas de Papallacta! Just the fancier option.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You can also stop at one of the other establishments on the road as you enter Papallacta. The entry cost for these may vary, and some even include lunch or dinner, but you can expect to pay far less those places than at the Termas de Papallacta. (I personally like the Termas de Papallacta, however the entry price is increasing at roughly $0.50 cents every 6 months to a year\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n

Eat fresh trout<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Much like swimming, lounging in natural hot springs burns calories and, once you get out of the water, you\u2019ll likely be <\/span>ravenous<\/i><\/b>. Good news! This region of the country is known for its fresh trout. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find a string of small restaurants in Papallacta, near where all the hot springs are located, serving soup and various trout dishes. A personal favorite: <\/span>trucha al ajillo<\/span><\/i> (trout in a delicious garlic sauce).<\/span><\/p>\n

Virgen de Papallacta to Termas de Papallacta<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

Like hiking? Consider doing the hike from the Virgen de Papallacta, which you pass on the way to Papallacta. The Virgen de Papallacta is basically the highest point along the highway and there\u2019s a shrine with a virgin in it (Hard to miss, unless it\u2019s really foggy). The route takes you from there to the entry of the Termas de Papallacta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on your pace, this hike takes about 5-6 hours and covers 10.5 miles (nearly 17 km). It is a moderately difficult hike, especially if you aren\u2019t acclimatized, but very do-able for most hikers. Make sure to bring rain and sun protection, as well as layers for the cold. Keep in mind that to do this hike, you\u2019ll have to get dropped off and start at the Virgen de Papallacta, <\/span>not the Termas de Papallacta<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"What<\/span><\/p>\n

Fastest ways to travel from Quito to Papallacta<\/span><\/h2>\n

To get from Quito to Papallacta, the quickest way is by car. Rent a car ($30-$100\/day) or hire a taxi or Uber ($60-$80 one way – divided by 4 passengers and it\u2019s pretty decent but still way more expensive than buses), and you\u2019ll be there within the hour. You can easily make this a day trip, leaving early in the morning, hiking around the area, dipping into the thermal baths, having lunch and then heading back before dark.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also get to Papallacta from Quito by bus, though it\u2019s a bit of a hassle. Though you\u2019d be headed east from Quito to Papallacta, to get on a regular bus you\u2019d first have to travel to Quito\u2019s southernmost bus terminal, Quitumbe, which takes about an hour from the center\/north of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Quitumbe, grab a bus to Baeza or Tena. If taking\u00a0 bus to Baeza, once you arrive, you\u2019ll need to take another bus to Tena that passes by Papallacta. If you got on a bus that goes all the way to <\/span>Tena<\/span><\/a>, just get off at Papallacta.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Note: These buses will drop you off at the entrance to the town. You\u2019ll still need to hike uphill for about 45 minutes to get to the various hot springs, including las Termas de Papallacta.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

[Honestly, just skip all this hassle and hop on the Wanderbus<\/a> – more info below].<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alternatively, from Quito, head down to Cumbaya or Tumbaco and grab a bus that goes to Tena. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few, but they are sporadic and you might need to ask around – it\u2019s not as straightforward as a bus terminal. I would try the bus stop in front of the Supermaxi in Cumbaya since many buses stop there, otherwise at the Santa Mar\u00eda supermarket in Tumbaco.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re starting in Tena, just get on a bus to Quito and hop off in Papallacta.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of how you\u2019re planning to get to Papallacta, remember to take some warm clothing and rain protection. It gets quite chilly, especially after the warmth of the thermal baths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fastest<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanderbus Ecuador<\/span><\/h2>\n

An alternative to the taxi and regular bus options that <\/span>you should definitely consider<\/b> is the <\/span>Wanderbus<\/span><\/a>. The Wanderbus departs from Ba\u00f1os on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday and one of its stops is Papallacta thermal springs, and BONUS entrance is included in your Wanderbus Pass! The bus will take you straight into town so you don\u2019t have to hike from the entrance – you can get straight to relaxing in the natural hot springs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wanderbus is a convenient mode of transport if you\u2019re keen on exploring Ecuador in a flexible way. As a hop on, hop off bus, you can adjust your itinerary as you like, and are guaranteed a ride to the next stop for the selected <\/span>Wanderbus pass<\/span><\/a>. Specifically, the <\/span>Wander Pass Express<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Continga Pass<\/span><\/a> take you straight through Papallacta and combine well with a trip to Tena and Ba\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n
