Baños was amazing! There was a lot to do and so many adventure activities you could book on arrival. Just walking outside was absolutely beautiful with mountains everywhere. There are also lots of thermal hot springs!

I felt completely safe walking there at night. Besides typical tourist activities like the trip to Amazon Puyo, biking on the Ruti de las Cascadas route and having fun at rooftop bars, I really enjoyed spending time eating at local restaurants and street stalls. I highly recommend the local specialty: choclo mote con cuero.
