Aguas Termales Urauco, in Lloa, Ecuador, at the foot of the Pichincha volcano, offer bicarbonate water at 38°C. Bathing takes place in an open-air pool or in the wild.
Insider tip — Aguas Termales Urauco serves the Lloa parish south of Quito at the foot of the Pichincha volcanic complex whose twin peaks Rucu Pichincha (4,698m) and Guagua Pichincha (4,784m) loom above the Ecuadorian capital. The Pichincha volcano last erupted in 1999, depositing volcanic ash over Quito and its surroundings in the most recent reminder of the geothermal forces driving the Urauco thermal springs, and the Lloa agricultural valley preserves traditional Quichua farming communities that have cultivated the Pichincha volcanic soils since pre-Inca times.
