Why This Hot Springs Experience Is So Unique
This isn’t your over-commercialized thermal spring packed with people. Termales Las Mariposas is a privately owned retreat in Machetá that was developed over the past 30 years by a natural medicine doctor. It has only recently been opened to the public—only through Airbnb and our exclusive tours. Your hosts, Joey & Giovanni—an American-Venezuelan duo and the authors of this website, Bogotivo—are the managers of this magical property. We are truly excited to share one of the best-kept secrets near Bogotá with you.
Surrounded by tropical flora, a peaceful lily pond, farm animals, and panoramic views of the Andes, this natural sanctuary feels worlds away from the city. With two large pools of mineral-rich hot springs at 39°C (102°F)—including one covered pool in case of rain—you’ll enjoy total relaxation, no matter the weather.
