A popular trip from Quito is Papallacta, thermal hot springs (2 hours and $2.50 for the bus). The "Termas" is a series of tiled pools, filled with water from the natural hot springs, each one hotter than the next. There are also cold pools (very cold!), and a cold river running through the area, for a "take your breath away" experience. We spent the night in a nearby hostel, with it's own thermal pools. We even had a thermal pool in our room.
