This absolutely stunning volcanic hot springs was a wonderful experience. The views are lovely, the atmosphere is like a dream. The hot springs is relaxing, a cold plunge is refreshing, a healing and holistic experience. They charge a fee upon entry, upgrades are available. If you are interested in spa services it’s advised to book in advance. Unfortunately they did not have availability the day of, for a massage so I opted for general admission and was very pleased with that option. Facilities are well kept and efficient, with towel rentals, lockers, baskets to carry your items, showers, changing room, clean restrooms. I would highly recommend visiting here is you’re traveling to the area. It’s worth the drive, which is also beautiful with plenty of local...

I climbed Cayambe with Freddie Tipan - one of the best mountaineering guides in Ecuador. I was not fully acclimated but Freddie took me to the top. It's a dangerous mountain to climb if you don't know your way around and I would not recommend going without a guide and, if you decide to go then go with the best. Freddie Tipan is one of the best. Mr. Tipan works for different climbing outfits in Ecuador including Andean face expeditions so it is best to get in touch with him directly and to recruit his services without going through an intermediary. This way you will eliminate the middle man and you will also be able to customize your climb with an outstanding...

Guiados por su nombre, se podría decir que el Parque Nacional Cayambe – Coca protege el volcán nevado Cayambe y las nacientes del río Coca, pero en verdad, éste es más bien el parque nacional del agua. Hay agua por todas partes, en el ambiente por la constante neblina y las lluvias, en la vegetación y la hojarasca del suelo, en los humedales y las lagunas de la parte alta, en el suelo y las almohadillas del páramo, y en los ríos que forman caídas y cascadas. En la parte alta hay célebres vertientes de aguas termales y minerales como las de Papallacta y Oyacachi. En esta región están las nacientes de ríos como el Dué, el Chingual, el Cofanes y el Cabeno que alimentan al Aguarico, para que junto con el Coca entreguen sus aguas al gran río Napo. Por el otro lado, hacia las estribaciones occidentales, está el hogar de cientos de vertientes que nutren a los ríos Mira y Esmeraldas que desembocan en el océano Pacífico.

Como Llegar

Desde Quito Se toma la vía Panamericana norte hasta llegar a la ciudad de Cayambe (78 km). Desde aquí se accede a los siguientes lugares:

Al Refugio del Cayambe. Se toma la vía de segundo orden Juan Montalvo – El Hato – Pie Monte que conduce al refugio. Toma 45 minutos hasta el punto de control por una vía que en ciertas épocas demanda uso de vehículo 4x4.

A Oyacachi. Se toma la vía que conduce al sector de Cangahua. Desde aquí se recorre 40 kilómetros por una carretera de segundo orden hasta llegar al Punto de Control. A 15 minutos de este lugar se encuentra el poblado de Oyacachi.

Para los lugares que se encuentran hacia el oriente, se toma la vía Quito – Papallacta – El Chaco. Desde aquí se accede a los siguientes lugares: Sector Baños. En Papallacta, junto a la zona de las aguas termales, se toma un camino de segundo orden (5 km) que conduce al puesto de control y los accesos a los senderos.

Cascada de San Rafael. Desde la población de El Chaco al ingreso a la cascada hay 50 kilómetros, el poblado más cercano antes de llegar...

What a beautiful place! To enter the park, there is a 4km drive up a rough, dirt road which gains you a lot of elevation. Once at the entrance, there are a number of trails to take! This is the habitat of the spectacled bear and mountain tapir so if you're very lucky you may have a chance of seeing them! Beautiful highland scenery with lots of lakes and pampas hills! Definitely recommend, not very far from Quito.
