About 40 miles east of Quito are hyperthermal, hypertonic, crystalline, mineral, sulfate and alkaline terreus.... hot springs. If it sounds like a concoction which might claim to heal you, well, it is. A couple of the guys we traveled with claimed to have experienced the legendary healing powers firsthand. There are 8 pools of varying temperatures. Two of them are cold, and one is a river pool. We did our sacred duty and plunged alternately between hot and cold pools to get our blood flowing.
The springs are of volcanic origin, and are quite clear. We had the good fortune of having one of the smaller hot pools to ourselves forabout an hour.
This is the gang that we roll with.
