Baños

Baños, known for its thermal baths and the many beautiful waterfalls surrounding it, lies about 4 hours south of Quito. I was visiting Baños for a weekend and really liked the idyllic town at the foot of volcano Tungurahua (which last erupted in 1999...)
Unfortunately the weather wasn't really as sunny and warm as expected on I did not only get wet in the spas and near the waterfalls but from the rain as well!
Baños is also famous for its milcocha, a delicious chewy taffy (Toffee) and caña de azucar (chewable sugarcane), which unlike the cuy (roasted guinea big/Meerschweinchen!!), I did try and liked it a lot.
