My family and me had a great stay at Termas de Papallacta. good food and comfortable lodging and the thermal waters and Spa are great. you can hike and you have very good wild trout fishing nearby but you need to investigate this. Unfortunately papallacta is in the high country right before dropping into the Amazon basin and as such its never dry, the weather is always changing so bring a fleece and light waterproof jacket. Try the trout and the empanadas de verde as well as the hot chocolate.

In reply to Bianca. The road from Quito to Papallacta is definitely winding and there were times when we were only driving 20-30 km/h due to both the incline and the fact that our rental car had zero pep. The highways were fairly quiet but there were big fog patches in places. Luckily we didn't see any snow on the way there. The roads were in surprisingly good condition except for a few spots but it's definitely not a fast highway no matter how you drive. If the weather goes bad, just take it slow and you should be fine.

In reply to Bianca. Hi Bianca. We didn't get yellow fever vaccine for our trip to Ecuador and were fine. To be honest, we didn't see too many bugs around Papallacta either. It's fairly close to Quito so we weren't overly concerned. Up to you however. Safe travels!

To visit these beautiful hot springs, did you and your family have to get yellow fever vaccine before getting there? Napo province in which Papallacta Hot Springs are located is a province CDC recommends the vaccine for the areas below 2300 m altitude, but Papallacta is in the far western side of the province in 3300 m altitude fairly close to Quito, and it’s not a Yellow Fever area. What is your experience on this? Thank you.

I am very happy that I found your wonderful post of the hot springs in Papallacta with such helpful information. I am getting excited about our trip coming up in mid Feb to that area. I would like to ask you more about the roads condition from Quito to that area since I came across some articles telling the road 28C could be dangerous because of unpredictable snowstorms and blizzards. Is it a winding mountain drive with sharp and blind curves along the way? Did you experience any of these challenges driving there? Thank you!
