From Papallacta vistors take in the awe inspiring view of
glacial canyons juxtaposed with cropfields, the paramo and
scattered patches of Andean forest. We stop to explore the
paramo and learn about its ecology, then move on to the Cloud
Forest to observe its many birds and exotic flowers. After
a picnic in view of the beautiful Papallacta lake, we visit
the renown Papallacta thermal springs. Following a refreshing
dip in Papallacta's thermal waters we return to Quito.
