Termas Ojo del Fantasma ('Ghost's Eye Springs') in the Chimborazo region of Ecuador are bicarbonate hot springs named for the spectral, misty appearance of their thermal steam rising from the ground in the cold, high-altitude páramo landscape of the central Ecuadorian Andes. The springs emerge from geological formations shaped by centuries of volcanic activity in the shadow of Chimborazo, and their atmospheric name reflects the visual drama of warm vapor rising from the volcanic earth in a cold highland environment. The remote setting of Ojo del Fantasma, accessible via mountain roads through the páramo, provides an adventurous thermal experience that combines the elemental character of Andean volcanic geology with the ethereal beauty of high-altitude thermal mist.
