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.

Sangay Spa Hotel

We spent a very nice and fruitful time both in the town itself and in this hotel. It has a great location, because right next to it there is a waterfall flowing down a rock cliff! Well, something beautiful. We rate the conditions in the hotel itself as very good. There is also an outdoor swimming pool.

Hostal & Spa Casa Real

It's really worth staying here. Both in terms of landscapes and the immediate neighborhood, as well as the conditions in the hotel itself. Neat apartment with nice furniture and accessories. Extensive views from around the hotel. Nice service. A small outdoor swimming pool. The price is OK too!

La Floresta Hotel

A charming hotel, full of colors and well-kept plants. Here you get the closeness to nature for free. Affordable price, excellent conditions (clean, comfortable, simply pleasant). Very tasty breakfast. I also recommend visiting the restaurant during lunch time - the food there is delicious.
Samari Spa Resort

Samari Spa Resort

Hotel Samari Spa is a slightly more exclusive place, but still reasonably priced. The building itself impresses with its architecture. And the interiors are not inferior to him. Large wood and interesting decorative elements. But everything in a traditional style. Plus lots of plants outside and views all around.
Centro Ecoturístico Alpinar
Excellent

Centro Ecoturístico Alpinar

A place you can really admire. Provided that you want to be away from the city, in the bosom of nature. Here you are guaranteed peace, quiet and an almost homely atmosphere. Breakfast with products handmade by the owners. Everything is delicious and fresh. The conditions are simple, but incredibly cozy.
