Nice hotsprings with indoor and outdoor pool. Book your 2 hrs slot in advance! Indoor is 15.000 pp, outdoor 6.400 pp. On weekdays out of the season it's cheaper. Don't expect too much, it is one outdoor pool, not particularly nice, fenced, you feel like in prison. No bar etc. They have a changing room, showers and toilets. So at least cheaper than any campsite in the area, if you need a hot shower 😉
Report Check-InIndoor 1 pool 15000pp, outdoor 1 pool 4500pp. Children >1yr half price.
BUT natural hot spring still FREE! Follow directions below. Park for free near car bridge. Cross pedestrian bridge, is left path down from paid parking lot. Directly after bridge right, don't use (& pay for) picknick area, ect. Rainy day: We found nice shallow natural hot pools in the river made with stones, gravel and logs. Just perfect for our todlers. Enough place for 30 or so people. Some pools hotter then others. But after a high water/flood event these pools might get destroyed and someone (you?) should make new ones.
yes, you can park free before or behind the bridge. also you can have hot poola by the river for free! cross the bridge between the indoor and outdoor pools turn right for 200 Meter and you will find the pools. between 34 and 60 degrees. not very deep but gorgeous.
!! what you should not miss is the 1250 meter roundtrip through the jungle. its primär jungle like in the Amazonas region. both best between a rainy day.
enjoy it.
Ok, we didn’t pay, but we were really lucky... we’re totally off season and arrived at 18:30.
We parked on the parking lot (indicated 3500 pesos, but there were nobody, so we just sneaked in), and entered the paying swimming pool. There, a guy with a uniform came and asked us if we were just arriving, because the pool was closing in 5 min. He then asked if we hadn’t been told when we bought our tickets.
Happily, from the beginning of the conversation, we did as if we almost don’t understand Spanish, so I answered “se puede que no entiendo todo”, so he said we can have a walk on the bridge. From there, we followed the instructions (cross the bridge, then turn right, and right again at the “sendero los rapidos”) and easily found the hot pool.
So yes we did it for free, but I think we have been very lucky on this one (and that the “no entiendo espanol” part helped a lot).
Try if it’s on your way, but don’t expect anything!
I don’t think it worth the price of you have to pay it... (3500 pesos for the parking + 4500 pesos pp / 2300 for children)
Report Check-InOk it can be free : park by the bridge and follow we ride south america's instructions to get to the natural stone pools :)
Report Check-InIt would be nice if people would put complete information so you have an idea before you get to the place and don't waste your time ! - to park 2,500 pesos - then you have to pay o enter the termas , not free ! Have to pay something . There's no parking on the road and the whole area is private , I asked if we could just sleep in the parking lot and visit the termas the next day and they said we couldn't but they had camping for 30,000 pesos.. absurd!
Report Check-Ingreat recommendiation especially with the cold river next to it

on bank holiday very busy indeed
Really really nice, and much nicer than the paid pool! You have to cross the river (pedestrian bridge, which is near the paid outside hotpool), turn right at the end of the bridge, follow the river a little bit, and when you see the sign of the beginning of the sendero "Los Rapidos", turn right. You ll see a lot of small pool. Take a shovel with you. At night it's just magic.
