Não sei se era baixa estação, mas estava tudo abandonado, só tinha uma poça de lama horrível e duas piscinas com água muito quente.Tudo sujo e desarrumado.
We heard a lot about this place, but coming there we were disappointed in a way, as it was one of the last places back home, we saw way better things, There waterfalls, but comparing to for example Niagara Falls, these are water from the tap. Didn't feel the atmosphere and why so many tourists coming here.
after leaving the main road between Salinas and Guayaquil, we entered a narrow road that not well maintained and seamed to go on for ever.We reached a wide dead end roan which had a few building that had not been maintained for many years.We parked the vehicle nose in against a wall, and walked over to what turned out to be the place that you pay to enter.So after we had worked out what it cost and what we wanted to pay for we entered the grounds, there were concert paths leading of in different directions which lead to building where you could change.One building had a geothermic pool, the water was hot and cloudy, there are wooden beams that you can hold on to, I was not able to feel the bottom so the beams were needed.After a time in there we got out and walked over to an other building where there is a steam room and rooms where you can get a massage either with mud or allovera .After that you can go outside and bake in the sun, there were plenty of showers to wash off the after the massage.This was a very laid back day for a very minimal cost, when we were there it was almost empty, because we went in the mid week.Go there relax with no sales pressure and enjoy.Bring food and drinks because we found that they do not cater, there are a few street venders outside the placeThe reason for the three stars is the lack of services inside the facility.
Estuvimos el ano pasado aqui cuando nos recomedaron ir la misma gente de Ecuador.es diferente y hay que ir abierto a probar algo nuevo.es muy accesible el precio y uno se puede quedar el tiempo que quiera.LLevar: traje de bano, ojotas y toalla.La idea es ir pasando por diferentes lugares tipo circuito, aunque hay que ir preguntando que hacer antes porque es muy tranquilo y cada cual hace lo que tiene ganas, pero esta armado para ir primero a: una piscina de barro. de olor fuerte creo que tiene azufre, da un poco de impresion pero resulta divertido y relajante.Hay que esperar que se seque y volver a entrar para quitarlo.Luego se pasa por una serie de piscinas de agua termal con distintas temperaturas.No estaba sucio pero no convendria andar descalzo ya que es un lugar poco tecnologico y mas bien casero, quizas eso es lo llamativo!Yo decidi darme un masaje y la verdad fue raroo, una mujer enorme te pasa barro caliente por todo el cuerpo y por momentos suena huesos asi que si no estas acostumbrado puede ser algo intimidante.Pero la verdad es algo distinto para hacer, con mi marido nos divertimos muchoNo esperen el Hilton porque nada que verrr
Além de ser pouco visitado, a poça de lama vulcânica é feia, as paredes sujas, as duas piscinas ativas com água quente são muito pequenas, não recomendo.
Spent a Week with friends that took up up to Banos a great vacation town located at about 10,000 feet. Its cool but not cold, the hot baths were the best. We took horses up to the volcano again that was a blast. Went one night up to watch the fire show with swords and everything again was great. I'm looking forward to returning....Shoot I could retire to this location. The family loved it.
Después de ir a Papallacta esperaba algo parecido. El lugar no tiene nada, excepto el lodo y las piscinas de agua caliente, no venden nada, ni agua. La de lodo es horrible y las de agua caliente muy pequeñas y no tan calientes. Esta lejos de Salinas y todo ese trayecto para ver eso, no vale la pena.
Alguien nos habló del lugar, me pareció interesante, la publicidad en la carretera es enorme, pero me engañó. Llegué al lugar y estaba sucio, hasta la piscina tenía restos de comida y las facilidades huelen mal... salimos pidiendo devolución del dinero de la entrada y nos fuimos a la playa mejor.
Es una ciudad chiquita que tenes de todo para hacer. Desde alquilar autitos para recorrer la ciudad, visitar cascadas, piletas termales, etc!El lugar es lindo pero debería mejorar su infraestructura!De noche tiene una calle de varias cuadras llenas de bares !
Night life during weekends is good, you can go zip lining, mountain biking, see volcanoes, they have some nice cheap yummy restaurants, and free maps of the town!
