Ryan ended up taking me to Papallacta! It really was a surprise up until we got off the bus at Supermaxi in Cumbaya. By then I realized there must be only one place we were going.
Papallacta is a small little town (if you can even call it that) far up in the Andes. It's a tourist destination because of the thermal baths. See, Papallacta sits near Antisana, a volcano, that heats the natural springs. Ryan could sit in a thermal bath for hours. Me on the other hand, I get a little too sleepy in them. Papallacta was the perfect place for both of us because in addition to thermal baths there is GREAT hiking in the area. We did absolutely beautiful two hikes! What's better than a thermal bath after a nice long hike? It was really great! We both came back feeling rested and relaxed.
Photos to come!
MULUB,
