Baños is a popular destination for tourists and Ecuadorians who come for the hot springs, the pleasant climate, and the recreational activities such as walking and climbing. Baños is also the gateway to the jungle via Puyo and Misahuallí.

The architecture in this hotel (top) and restaurant is typical of the area.

Public baths are a popular attraction. This one, at the foot of the waterfall, holds extra scenic interest.
