Baños, Azuay is a small town in a fertile valley about 30 minutes from Cuenca. Its name comes from the thermal baths (baños) fed by volcanic hot springs, which have been used for relaxation and therapy for decades. The town sits along the Río Paute, surrounded by green hills and small waterfalls. Visitors can soak in public or private pools, explore nearby hiking trails, or enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. The thermal waters are the main draw, but the scenic drive through the valley adds to the experience.
