Relaxation and fitness Ecuador

You will find here 8 pools of thermal water very pleasant. The site sometimes lacks maintenance and the entrance is not free! We advise you to arrive early, when the pools are still clean (as the day goes by, their condition deteriorates noticeably, although the water is changed twice a day). These thermal baths with very hot water (53°C maximum) are rich in bicarbonate, iron and magnesium. The small pools are located near impressive cold water cascades. The balneario is always busy at weekends....

A handful of kilometers from the city is a corner of paradise "in the heart of the volcano": the springs of Piedra de Agua. It is indeed the ideal place to relax, to take care of yourself, to be pampered. This large complex has swimming pools (different temperatures), Turkish and steam baths, sauna, hammam... and offers you all kinds of services: massages, restaurant. The Spa circuit program is an excellent way to discover the various services in 2 or 3 hours. Afterwards, you can enjoy the swimming pool as much as you like, or even have a drink by the pool.

Here, worries are left on the mat and you leave with an empty head. This spa, aptly named a refuge, invites you to let go and take care of yourself. We recommend the mud bath, because here, you dry off while dancing the salsa. Several options are available: pool, bath, multiple treatments. The premises are clean and well-kept, and the staff are particularly welcoming. The site is well planted with trees, and you can even go for a pleasant walk, called Podothérapie. All in good fun!

These municipal facilities have 2 outdoor pools, thermal water pools that spring from the Santa Clara spring. The semi-Olympic swimming pool of Santa Clara has new, spacious and renovated facilities, so that visitors can enjoy a comfortable environment. It was one of the first pools to be inaugurated in Baños, and its construction in April 1933 is a reference point here. The water, which is higher in magnesium, is also more temperate than elsewhere (around 22°C). You can also enjoy a small spa.

Another complex exploiting the richness of the thermal waters of Baños de Agua Santa. This one offers 7 pools filled with hot, sulphurous and ferruginous thermal water. The waters are even hotter than in the Baths of the Virgin (55 °C) and strongly mineralized (sulphate and chlorine). The installations deserve a good renovation, but on the whole the cleanliness is there, which is unfortunately not always the case in this type of installations. These clean thermal baths are to be recommended, especially if you have muscular pains.

At the Santa Ana thermal baths, the particularity is to offer you a vast choice of water temperatures. There are 7 pools nestled at the foot of a hill from which come the various springs providing water of varying degrees of heat and mineralization that you can choose according to your tastes and your pain if you have any. Ask for advice, the staff is very helpful and will be able to direct you to a particular type of thermal treatment according to your needs. The water temperature varies between 18 and 38°C.
