The 10 Best Day Trips from in Banos, Tungurahua Province

March 20, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Normally, one wouldn’t equate "relaxing spa vacation" with "hanging out near an active volcano," but if you’re up for something more exotic than facials and massages, Banos might be the perfect place for you. The thermal mineral pools here are heated by the volcano, and while there are several, offering different amenities, the easiest one to visit is Las Piscinas de la Virgen. Banos also has plenty of outdoor activities, like rafting and biking on scenic paths.

We had the best time canyoning with Ivaga! Alex and Chivito, our guides, were amazing. Super fun and so supportive! We did the Chamana Alta tour and it was well worth the price, although they're not kidding when they say extreme! Highly recommend for your trip to Banos.

My young daughters, wife, and I spent a day visiting the Bucay waterfalls - we had such a great time. The private guide, Wilson, knew the landscape to perfection and talked us through the many hidden aspects of the terrain. For us who are not expert trekkers, this was most welcome as we always felt perfectly safe. The place is extraordinary - you experience sunlight, mist, cloudforest, rivers, cascades, in just a few hours. At the end of the trek, Wilson took as to see a mill for cane extraction and then we had a tasteful lunch. I plan to go again soon for rafting or maybe i will muster the courage for canyoning - the place calls you to experience. Just Great.
