Looking to explore the best hot springs near Bogotá? I’ve compiled a list of everything you need to know.
Natural hot springs are often praised for their health benefits such as blood circulation, stress reduction, pain relief, and improvement of skin problems. How do hot springs work exactly? When it rains, water seeps into the ground and is heated by volcanic activity below. The hot water is then pushed up as denser cold water is replenished. It’s then required to drill into the ground to source the hot water and have a constant flow that you can enjoy in one of the following hot springs near Bogotá.
Termales Los Volcanes
Termales Los Volcanes features a range of pools with different temperatures, thanks to the natural geothermal activity in the region. The soothing waters, enriched with minerals, are believed to have therapeutic properties that can alleviate stress and muscle tension. The resort also offers additional amenities such as spa treatments, saunas, and massages, ensuring a complete wellness experience. You can stay overnight in one of their accommodation options or just go for the day. To get here you can easily take the Machetá bus from Terminal Norte for 18.000 pesos (tell them you’re going to Termales Los Volcanes).
