Baños de Agua Santa Essentials

Baños de Agua Santa sits at the base of the active Tungurahua volcano, serving as a gateway to the Amazon basin. This list features the town’s mineral-rich thermal springs and the 'Ruta de las Cascadas,' including the massive Pailón del Diablo and Manto de la Novia. Highlights include the Casa del Arbol seismic station with its volcano-facing swing and the central market known for traditional Ecuadorian cuisine. The geography is defined by the deep Pastaza River canyon, accessible via multiple cable cars and suspension bridges.
