Insider tip — Cununyacu Thermal Balneario serves the Tumbaco Valley east of Quito where the geothermal springs emerge from the volcanic geology of the Pichincha cordillera. Tumbaco was one of the most important agricultural valleys of the Inca Quito kingdom, and the valley is now home to the Quito international airport — making Cununyacu one of the few thermal spring resorts immediately accessible upon arrival in Ecuador. The Quechua name Cununyacu (throbbing water) perfectly describes the rhythmic pulse of the natural spring as it emerges from the volcanic substrate.
