The most popular destination of Ecuadorians and international tourists in the Tuungurahua Province is Baños de Agua Santa (often called just Baños). Almost everyone is looking for some level of adventure, whether it comes from hiking trails in a region that is part Sierra and part Amazon Basin or ziplining across riverbeds and ravines. But Ecuadorians also come as a form of pilgrimage. The waters of Baños are considered sacred and bathing in them is not just a spa experience, but a religious one that harks back to a time before Spanish colonization.
This region is full of hidden treasures and, despite popularity with the international crowd, it is possible to find escape from the masses.
I hope these few pictures will encourage you to delve a little deeper into this beautiful province.
