Xavier and I had been planning to go for awhile and we finally went for a day trip a few weeks ago. We took a couple of buses from his house in Quito to Papallacta, which took about an hour and a half. We had planned to go for a hike as well, but it is winter in Papallacta now and so it rained the whole time we were there.
We spent the afternoon lounging around in the different thermal pools, all with gorgeous views of the mountains.
The plants in this region, at this altitude are so different from the jungle.
We hope to go back when the rainy season is over to do a hike and go camping by one of the many lagoons in the area.
If any of you come to visit me in Ecuador, we will go to Papallacta - it is amazing!
Love,
Aliana
