Ecuador 3.0

Ecuador 3.0 continues…

I am continuing this series with (once again) something strikingly simple…water. This time it’s the hot springs at Papallacta.

Located 3 300 meters above sea level in the Ecuadorian Andes, the hot springs and thermal baths found a mere 1 hour drive from the capital city of Quito are both a delight and an opportunity for rejuvenation.

There are many hostal and hotel options as well as pools open to the public. A quick search will bring up these options as well as the famous Termas de Papallacta (official site here).

Soak up the amazing properties of thermal waters coming hot from the neighboring volcano.

Ecuador 3.0

I have spent the last ten years in Ecuador. I though it was about time to start highlighting some of the beautiful discoveries I have made in these years living and working in Ecuador. I’m calling this series Ecuador 3.0 to reflect the Marketing 3.0 idea created by Kotler – that brands need to connect, engage and live in tandem with the wants/needs/desires/values of customer. Ecuador 3.0 is born!

I thought I would start this series with something strikingly simple…water. Guitig natural sparkling water is an amazing product. Their story here. Their official website here.

Guitig recently paired up with some talented local designers to create unique bottle designs. More info here (in Spanish).

Drink it in!
