Ecuador’s Baños de Agua Santa (often just referred to as Baños) in the province of Tungurahua is famous for its naturally heated hot springs rich in minerals and hiking/ nature trails that cross over the active volcano in Tungurahua.
Baños is also a popular destination for adventure sports, such as rock climbing, paragliding, or ziplining for spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, waterfalls, and rivers. There is also the Swing At The End Of The World, a favorite among photographers and adventurous tourists.
