About this trip

Antisana is a majestic and mysterious volcano in the Eastern Mountain Range of the Andes. It is the nucleus of this protected area in whose interior there are Paramo (Grassland) and eastern Andean forests. Volcanic activity, the passage and retreat of glaciers and evolution have created impressive landscapes and a very diverse wildlife in its territory. As a mirror of the volcano is the Mica lagoon, where part of the water of the Quito city comes from. Apart from the lagoon, there are swampy areas where the water floods during the rainy season, forming seasonal lagoons such as Santa Lucía or Mauca Machay. In the reserve the rivers are born that later slide down the eastern slopes and go to feed the Coca and Napo amazon rivers. 


Besides,  Termas Papallacta is famous by its medicinal water since they contains  healing properties. Papallacta is like being into heaven since, it is  located in the dense clouds surrounded by mountains at 10,663 feet above sea level. Enjoy the spa resort and plunge into Health  and Life in our thermal pools, surrounded by nature.
