Don't let the cloudy looking water fool you! Banos literally means 'baths,' in Spanish, and that's what the city is most well known for-its thermal pools which are high in mineral content (thus the murky look.) The thermal pools vary in temperature based on how much water they are fed from Volcano Tungurahua. The pools are well known for their variety of healing properties, with four separate baths in Banos. Las Piscinas de La Virgen is the most famous of the bunch and the only hot thermal pool of the lot. It is said that the Virgin Maria actually came here to wash her feet in 1928, leading to the name of this thermal spring.
