Termas de Papallacta Resort and Spa - TERMASPAPA

A serene spa resort nestled in Ecuador's Andean highlands, offering thermal pools and rejuvenating experiences.

Tucked high in the Andean cloud forest, Termas de Papallacta is a blissful escape into nature, where steamy thermal waters meet crisp mountain air. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, this unique resort invites guests to unwind and recharge in a setting that feels both otherworldly and deeply grounding.

Each room and private cabin is just steps away from naturally heated thermal pools, whose mineral-rich waters are known for their healing properties. Whether you're soaking beneath a star-strewn sky or starting your morning with a warm dip as mist rolls over the mountains, the experience is one of pure tranquillity. The resort’s spa offers indulgent treatments using local ingredients, from volcanic mud to essential oils drawn from native flora.

For those craving adventure, Termas de Papallacta is perfectly placed. Hike through trails in the Cayambe-Coca Reserve, spot hummingbirds and spectacled bears, or simply breathe in the high-altitude air as you explore the pristine wilderness. And after a day in the wild, there’s nothing more rewarding than returning to the warmth of the pools and the gentle stillness of the resort.

Combining comfort, wellness, and breathtaking natural beauty, Termas de Papallacta is a sanctuary for the senses—perfect for couples, families, or anyone seeking peace and renewal in the heart of Ecuador’s mountains.
