Baños de Agua Santa tourism recognition

Overview

Baños de Agua Santa in Ecuador has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the 20 most beautiful towns in the world. The July 2026 edition of the publication highlighted the town’s natural landscape, specifically its location near the Tungurahua volcano, its waterfalls, Andean forests, and its proximity to the Amazon.

While the international recognition brings visibility, the region’s tourism is currently driven largely by domestic visitors, who represent approximately 90% of guests. The publication also noted Luna Volcán, an adventure spa and hotel situated on 35 hectares of native Andean forest, as a premier destination for travelers.
