Backpacking can from time to time be quite exhausting. Lots of stuff to carry around, don't know where to go or sleep and so on...

So we decided to check in to a five star spa approximately 3 hours away from Quito.
Place is named Termas Papallacta and is a hot spring spa up in the Andean mountains. They lead hot water heated by lava deep down inside the montains. The resort is loacted at almost 6000 meters so the air is thin and takes some time to get adapted to, but it's well worth it.

They have a website, go check it out here: http://www.papallacta.com.ec/

This place is a "must-do" if you are in the surrounding area.
