According to this http://www.igepn.edu.ec/#P2-Nina_st  it basically says that the volcano will likely continue to have mild eruptions while releasing pressure.  Depending on wind conditions, fine ash fall is possible in Baños but the wind usually blows southwest, which is the opposite direction of Baños.  It says not to rule out a larger explosion, like the one that happened a few days ago, but it's not as likely as several smaller ones.  It also says that because of resent rainfall, mudslides are possible, which could affect the road to Baños.

Thanks folks, arrived this afternoon & it's all good!

Mama Tungurahua has been quite active for the past week -- just as she has been on & off for nearly 15 years now. The ash and lava flow away from the town of Banos which is protected by a series of mountain ridges. It is an amazing time to visit Banos -- the remarkable spectacle of nature's raw beauty is unparalleled!
