We love Banos! first evening

Banos is a small city in a valley surrounded by mountains and an active volcano.  The last serious eruption was in the 80's.  Because of the volcanic action there are thermal baths everywhere.  The most popular is the Pacina de las Virgin which lies at the foot of a wonderful waterfall IN the city and just a few blocks form our hotel.  The water comes is heated by the active Tungurahua volcano
Natural hot spring make a thermal bath with a beautiful view of the waterfall and mountains. 

For oe woman's description of Banos and the baths click here

Everything in Banos is close. and if tired a taxi anywhere in the city is $1.  Less than the bus even for seniors in Boston.


The waters from these falls ae considered healing because of their rich mineral content (think about epsom salts - magnesium sulfate)
