How to get to Oyacachi Hot Springs?
Through El Quinche it's a road in very bad conditions so it is recommended to go in a 4x4 vehicle, you drive through Papallacta and in 3 hours you get to the main entrance of the Reserve.
Through Cayambe, it's an easier way, you take the Panamericana Highway toward Cayambe and after you go by the pay toll of Panavial you take the first detour right you drive up to Cangahua and from there you take a dirt road up to the entrance of the Reserve
