CUENCA
Thermal Springs
An unexpected stop: apparently there's an underground cavern network in Baños, inside Cuenca. You see, there's a crack beneath the mountain, which happens to be an inactive volcano, and hot currents flow into the surface all year long. These hot springs make for a mesmerizing spa, just ten minutes away from the hotel. Care to take a look?
❧ Baños' hot springs hold special minerals, which explain their therapeutic and healing properties. As soon as you get in you'll feel a huge load get off your chest: complete restoration. But the unforgettable sensation comes from the contrast between the very hot waters at the spring colliding with the cold moutain wind.
❧ It's great for your skin, for your back troubles and for your state of mind. We offer visits to Piedra de Agua and Novaqua; both offer quick baths and complete treatments (blue mud, red mud, steam rooms, saunas and massage services).
