Aguas Calientes - Hot Springs

Just a short walk up from the town of Aguas Calientes are the natural thermal springs which the town is named after.

The hot springs are located in a spectacular setting in a narrow valley between two mountains and next to the Rio Aguas Calientes, which cascades down the hillside. The hot springs complex consists of several sand bottom pools of varying temperatures, change rooms, and a small outdoor lounge. The lounge overlooks the pools and is a good option for those who just want to be spectators rather than get wet.

Just outside and below the hot springs complex is a larger swimming pool at the side of the river where local children come to have fun and play games but it is not part of the hot springs.
