Los Baños del Inca
Los Baños del Inca are mineral hot springs located about 6km / 3.5mi east of Cajamarca. The hot water is channeled into a variety of pools. The Hotel Laguna Seca has its own private hot pools, which are well kept. There is also a less luxurious public complex, Complejo Touristíco Baños del Inca, which is usually very busy and packed with locals on weekends.
