The scenic drive from Quito to Papallacta passes through several towns and small villages before ascending to a peak of over 4.000 meters, from where mountains and glaciers are visible. Descending from the peak to Papallacta, the ecosystems transform from alpine to tropical jungle.

ECUADOR BEST TOURS arrange day trips to several hot springs and spas that are located in Papallacta. Many of the local restaurants are well-known for their steamed trout. For lodging, there are several hotels and a resort.
Lake Papallacta and its surrounding watershed previously provided much of the drinking water for Quito. All the mammals and birds of Papallacta have been studied in detail, that is why we deeply recommend to take hikes in the region to enjoy its natural beauty!!

If you need a place to relax, during your stay in Quito, this is the best one!!
