Baños, Adventure tourism center in Tungurahua Province, Ecuador
Located at 1820 meters elevation, Baños sits at the northern base of Tungurahua volcano, marking the transition between the Andes and Amazon regions.
In 1999, the entire population of 17,000 residents evacuated the city due to increased volcanic activity from the nearby Tungurahua volcano.
The name Baños de Agua Santa refers to the mineral-rich thermal springs that attract visitors to this Catholic pilgrimage destination.
The bus terminal near the city center connects to major Ecuadorian cities, with frequent services to Quito taking approximately three and a half hours.
The Road of Waterfalls features seven large cascades, including Pailón del Diablo, which visitors can explore through hiking, biking, or guided tours.
