What a pleasure to soak your tired body in this warm water after a long journey! There are several pools so you don't have the impression of being in a swimming pool crowded with people.
The water temperature is warm but not excessively so. The locker room and shower stalls are a bit old-fashioned but as we're not there for that, it doesn't matter. There are lockers to store things. A padlock closes everything.
The lockers are large enough to store a lot of stuff (but don't come with your entire luggage though!)
We had a great time relaxing, we loved it!

All our Tour Group went here to lounge in the 35 degree warm water.
Located in the countryside, fairly basic showers/changing area but 3 pools to choose from and only 15 Sol entrance.
Very surprised at the size of the pool, lots of lounging space.

We spent no more than 90 minutes here, soaking up the warm water does have a time limit. There are two sections, one for the locals and one for the tourists. The tourist one has changing rooms, showers (you're expected to shower before you enter) and a little shop that sells cold beer and there are changing rooms.
The fabulous photos online must have been taken by professionals because I just couldn't capture the awesomeness that everyone elses pics seem to have.
Not wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking.

The hot springs were something of a disappointment. We got there a bit late, about 5:45, and thought maybe they would charge us less since we'd only be there for a short while. But the gal said they were open til 7:30 (a half hour than our guidebook said) and that there were 3 pools open, so we paid the full price, 15 soles. We get in and are about to change into our swimsuits when we realized we didn't have towels. Oops. We asked the lady at the snack bar but she didn't have any dry ones, so she sent us to another area, where we each had to pay 5 SOLES just to borrow them!
Ok, so we finally get our towels and get in the first outdoor pool. It's quite a nice temp and there are some really pretty views of the mountains, but they play loud disco music, which is not relaxing at all. We were looking for more of a relaxing experience. After soaking a while, we went to check out the other pools. One of the 3 was actually closed, so the gal at the entrance gave us some misleading info. The other outdoor pool was a little bit cooler but still comfortable (my boyfriend thought both should have been hotter, but we have different tolerances for heat). Again, at the second pool, the music was similarly unpleasant. We thought we'd stay til close but ended up staying only an hour, as it just wasn't that great.
What was great, however, was the walk there. SO beautiful! I highly recommend walking there, or just walking on the outskirts of town. It will make you appreciate Chivay much more!

Don't forget your sandals and towel. Try all the pools. We liked pool number 5 for the water temperature and number 1 for the view.

We went here after advice from our tour guide from Arequipa to Colca. When we got there it wasn't what we expected (natural pools of water),instead they take the water as it bubbles from the ground and feed it to large swimming pools. This didn't spoil the experience though. It was really relaxing and a fun way to spend a couple of hours

Our driver suggested we stop here for a quick swim, and it was a great idea. We stayed for a couple of hours enjoying the various pools and also enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds zooming past us in the pool. Worth a stop!

Beautiful outdoor natural surroundings at these hot springs - various pools to choose from with differing characteristics. Just 3km from Chivay - colectivos leave constantly for 1 sole per passenger or private taxi for 5-6 soles. Great place overall!!

Great way to finish our hike from Canocota. 5 pools- all quite hot, a little too hot for our kids. Cool swinging bridge to nearby ruins. 15s entry fee and towel rental 4s. Kids free. Basic snack bar. Pools a little distant from one another- so no opportunity to jump between hot and cold pools. Also would be cool if they were open at night with s clear sky, but I think pools close at 7.

L'indirizzo esatto non posso fornirtelo perché ci dono andato con un tour durante il carnevale di Gualeguaychu, ma comunque è a meno di 10 km.dalla cittadina.
Quindi recandoti li ti puoi informare.
Ti posso garantire che ci sono le più belle ragazze dell'Argentina che sono la maggior parte delle ballerine che sfilano durante il carnevale.
