 The thermal baths and the Reserva Ecologica Cayambe-Coca are the leading reasons to visit Papallacta.  Otherwise, there aren't too many activities in this little town on the side of the hill.
-The beautiful '''Reserva Ecologica Cayambe-Coca''' presents miles of lakes and trails in a preserved and secluded setting.  Access/camping/fishing fees were $5 in 2007.  This reserve receives support from The Nature Conservancy, USAID, Parks in Peril and Rumicocha Ecological Foundation.  The reserve is located high in the Andes around 13,000 feet so it receives quite a bit of rain.  Access points are located past Termas de Papallacta as well as near the summit on the Via Interoceanica (as you reach the summit, look for a cement hut 1/4 mile off the road to the north).  Fly Google Earth to 0 18'59S and 78 10'20W for a bird's eye view of the center of the reserve.
