Hotel La Chimenea is in downtown Baños, not far from the thermal baths that give the city its name. Stroll the streets around the hotel for a glimpse of culture in this cool, lush town in the Central Sierra. You’ll find plenty of nature adventures await you in the surrounding mountains, and these affordable accommodations make it possible for you to budget for more activities.

The Tungurahua Volcano gives the thermal baths here their heat, but only the most intrepid hikers venture to the volcano itself. Right outside of the Tungurahua National Park, you can visit the “Swing at the End of the World” for a tremendous view of the volcanic landscape, on a thrilling swing that allows your feet to leave the safety of the ground behind. For more adventure, consider taking a thrilling rafting tour down the Pastaza River.
