Insider tip — Aguas Termales Aguayllanchi serves Chambo in the Chambo River valley of Chimborazo Province, Ecuador, where the geothermal springs emerge from the volcanic foothills below the massive Chimborazo stratovolcano (6,263m) — the point on Earth farthest from the center of the planet due to the equatorial bulge. The Chambo valley was home to the Puruhá people before Inca and Spanish conquest, and the traditional communities of Chimborazo Province maintain indigenous Quechua language and ceremonial culture including the Inti Raymi sun festival that marks the solstice across the Ecuadorian Andes.
