Banos...

Banos is a tiny mountain village which is hidden well within the Andes deep within Ecuador and is a charming little place known for its natural hot springs and its feisty volcano, Tungurahua or "Black Giant".  Our visit here was brief as it was on the way to our infamous Amazon trek and time was running short, but here is what we managed to see during our stay.
