Baños de Agua Santa sits in Tungurahua province where Ecuador’s Andean highlands give way toward the Amazon. Its local tourism guide highlights thermal baths, waterfalls, trails and a compact town setting, while the provincial tourism authority identifies Pailón del Diablo as an 80-metre cascade on the Río Verde. This is a leisure destination for balancing quiet pool time with easy-paced nature outings, not a medical retreat. Keep plans flexible: rain, damp paths and changing local conditions can shape a day outdoors, and facilities may revise access details.

Termas de la Virgen and El Salado are named among Baños’s thermal-spring attractions by the Tungurahua provincial tourism guide. Make a pool visit the gentle anchor of the day, then leave time to rest in town; confirm current access and pool guidance directly before setting out.
Pailón del Diablo is an 80-metre waterfall formed by the Río Verde, according to the provincial tourism authority. Follow the signed visitor paths and take time at viewpoints to appreciate the water and surrounding greenery. The authority describes stone steps and damp, narrow sections, so choose a route that suits your comfort.
The local Baños travel guide describes a scenic road through cliffs and jungle, with viewpoints, tarabitas and waterfalls. Treat it as a flexible landscape-watching outing rather than a checklist: pause at appropriate stops, enjoy the changing river-and-forest views, and return to town for an easy evening.
