    We will pass through the town of Papallacta showing the Sierra / Amazon climate change, as well as being the center of trade for their products. If we are lucky and it is not cloudy we will be able to see the Papallacta Lagoon on the way, which is the main source of water for the city of Quito. They also have good food options if you want to have lunch or buy any product. It depends on visiting hours so if it is of interest, let me know in advance.

Restart muscles, improve blood pressure, skin, and relaxing properties, being the perfect solution for traveler's body well-being!
