Autor, Travelbay
Banos , or more precisely Baños de Agua Santa ( "Bath of Holy Water "), is a small city in the central part of Ecuador. It owes its name to numerous waterfalls and thermal springs that can be found directly in it, as well as in its close vicinity. It is also sometimes referred to as the "gateway to the Amazon". Without a doubt, Banos is the center of active and adventure tourism.

Be sure to go to Ruta de los Cascadas, which will allow you to traverse a charming valley and admire seven beautiful waterfalls. You will also be able to take part in rafting, go trekking, zipline or relax in hot springs. Anyway, you won't be able to complain about boredom here. So, plan your visit to this charming and picturesque town today.
For whom?
Banos is a good destination if you have a hard time sitting still and like being on the move. Here you will be able to practice many different sports - both more and less ambitious. In addition, Banos has a really nice location and in itself is also a great destination for walks. Fans of nature will, of course, also be delighted with the local waterfalls or vividly green, lush vegetation.
