And the often chilly weather creates the perfect environment to enjoy soaking in the thermal baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent more time in the mountains of Colombia than anticipated. Something about the small towns, culture, and mostly temperate weather drew me in. The hot springs, called termales, were just an added bonus!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a visit to the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs, it became a hobby of mine to find the best hot springs in each region. Perhaps my sometimes weekly visits prevented me from getting sick during my five months of travel throughout Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re visiting any of the small towns, use this list as a reference for where to find nearby hot springs in Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-1024x448.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead view of the large thermal pool and hotel at Termales Los Volcanes\" class=\"wp-image-4644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-1024x448.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-250x109.jpg 250w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-700x306.jpg 700w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-960x420.jpg 960w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-915x400.jpg 915w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1-585x256.jpg 585w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Termales-los-volcanes-21-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38\"]{font-size:16px;line-height:21px;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38\"]{font-size:14px;line-height:19px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38\"]{font-size:11px;line-height:15px;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-5-color has-text-color has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4595_9b04ab-38\"><em>This article may contain affiliate links.

It\u2019s also famous for its chorizo sausage of all things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town itself isn\u2019t particularly charming but it\u2019s fine if you want to have a look around. There are two main thermal baths &#8211; Termales Santa Rosa de Cabal and San Vicente Thermal Reserve. I&#8217;ve detailed both below. (Spoiler alert: San Vicente is worth a look!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Termales Santa Rosa de Cabal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you enter the grounds, the main focal point comes into view. A gorgeous waterfall that divides into several different streams cascading down the wide rockface. It\u2019s definitely the highlight of the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs, water cascades down the mountain and to the river streams below.\" class=\"wp-image-4613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-188x250.jpg 188w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03-585x780.jpg 585w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/santa-rosa-de-cabal-hot-springs-03.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While I enjoyed my time at these hot springs, I wish they were more intimate. But the surrounding natural elements make up for it. Listening to the sounds of the waterfall as your muscles melt in the heat of the springs is magical.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the type of hot spring you could spend the entire day (assuming you go during the week which I highly recommend). Or <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Santa Rosa Hot Springs\" href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/recommends\/santa-rosa-hot-springs\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">reserve a room to stay the night<\/a> so that you can enjoy the hot springs in the morning as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thermal baths consist of three pools at varying temperatures, a children\u2019s pool, and several cold water showers. I visited on a weekday after Semana Santa and I was surprised by how busy it was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t hard to find a space of your own but I found it difficult to find a space where kids were not splashing around. For a different experience, you may look to visit San Vicente instead (see next). After speaking with some locals in Salento, I wish I had.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:15px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{box-shadow:0px 9px 20px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26{position:relative;}.kadence-column4595_224276-26, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column4595_224276-26:not(.specificity){margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_224276-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_224276-26 kb-section-dir-vertical inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4595_848e13-b7 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_ae1d80-6a\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/b7ZMsV7GRSYhgwTD7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Map<\/a><\/strong><br>\u231a <strong>Hours:<\/strong> Mon-Thurs 6:30 am &#8211;

There are six pools surrounded by nature as well as a natural bubble pool, thermal river, and two saunas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I choose the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs, I later made local friends in Salento who made me wish I had chosen these instead. The thing is, there isn\u2019t public transportation to San Vincente so it\u2019s more expensive to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s within your budget, you should <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"San Vicente Hot Springs\" href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/recommends\/san-vicente-hot-springs\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">book a cabana at San Vicente<\/a> for a truly magical overnight. You\u2019ll have access to the hot springs throughout the evening as well as the next morning since check out is not until 1 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> As a hotel guest you\u2019ll have access to two hot springs reserved for guests. Plus some cabanas include a small private thermal bath in the suite.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:15px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{box-shadow:0px 9px 20px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1{position:relative;}.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column4595_456aad-c1:not(.specificity){margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_456aad-c1 kb-section-dir-vertical inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4595_3e9664-20 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_3f1775-31 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_3f1775-31\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/ZeGwqCrD57Ty4ogSA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Map<\/a><\/strong><br>\u231a <strong>Hours:<\/strong> 8 am &#8211; 11 pm (split into two times during high season)<br>\ud83d\udcb5 <strong>Cost:<\/strong> 50,000-85,000 cop depending on the season and time of day.

In fact, I soon realized everyone was huddled in one area of the pool because of the shade it offered, not warmer water. In addition to the pools, there is a long slide that ejects you into a plunge pool of cold water, which is tolerable on warm days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide was closed when I first arrived, but around midday, hundreds of school kids arrived on a field trip. After the madhouse in the locker area subsided, the slide opened and kids filled the pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The calm atmosphere of a few mature Paipa residents soaking in the pools quickly changed to that of a water theme park. While I was told this was a rare occurrence, it is something else to consider when choosing which hot spring in Paipa to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

The largest and most well-known is Termales Agua Tibia.

We\u2019re then guided to a thermal mud where he instructs us to dig around the edges to find an area of warm mud bubbling up from the ground. \u201cCaliente!\u201d he says. And he\u2019s right. It\u2019s warm and smooth. After applying mud to my face, arms, and decollete, he leads us to the nearby Salinas waterfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water is cold, but I\u2019m promised to be taken to a warm thermal bath promptly following. And boy, it\u2019s hot! In fact, after the frigid waterfall this is a termale you need to slide into bit by bit, but once you do you can feel your entire body begin to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The salinas waterfall cascades down into the rocky stream below.\" class=\"wp-image-4608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-667x500.jpg 667w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-760x570.jpg 760w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coconuco-termales-Colombia-06.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Salinas waterfall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Andres comes to check on us and leads us to the next part of the journey &#8211; a natural steam room built directly over a thermal bath.

Since it\u2019s accessed by a long dirt road, the transport was expensive and time is limited by however long you pay for the transport to wait for your return.

The hotel itself feels like a mountain lodge with wood beam ceilings, thick leather couches, and animal skin rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sauna and thermal baths are simple but peaceful, tucked away on a hill about two miles from Iza. A family from Bogota that had booked a room in the hotel said it was the first time they had visited during the week and that it was much quieter than the weekend. At most, there were eight people in the pools, but usually only a few at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iza is a cute town, but if you\u2019ve visited other small towns in Colombia you may be underwhelmed.

But the pictures of Los Angeles Termal in Rivera were too pretty to pass up. And it\u2019s true, it is a beautiful place in a hot environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stone pathways lead you through manicured tropical grounds with seating areas. There are four small thermal pools, one of which is cold and thoroughly enjoyed by the younger guests. The low rock borders between pools allow the waters to gently flow into each other without disrupting the temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Thermal waters in the rock lined pools flow into one another at the Los Angeles Termales, Rivera.\" class=\"wp-image-4614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-667x500.jpg 667w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-760x570.jpg 760w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rivera-hot-springs-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two pools flow into one another at the Los Angeles Termales in Rivera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the difference in temperatures among the pools is nice and not always found in Colombia\u2019s hot springs. However, my friend was right. I love warm water but it was a sunny day and the climate was not as enjoyable for a long hot soak. Perhaps at night or days when the weather cools, I would return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rivera is a charming small town south of Neiva with buses between the two leaving about every 30 minutes (or when they are full). At the main square in Rivera you can find a mototaxi to transport you to the termales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last bus returning to Neiva leaves before 7 pm. So while the termales are open late, you\u2019ll need to drive or arrange accommodation in Rivera if you plan to stay into the night. Our driver told me the mototaxis continue until 1 am.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:15px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{box-shadow:0px 9px 20px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3{position:relative;}.kadence-column4595_133560-b3, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column4595_133560-b3:not(.specificity){margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_133560-b3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1.5px solid var(--global-palette6, #718096);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_133560-b3 kb-section-dir-vertical inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4595_67f0ca-95 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4595_6b551f-1d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/jrAz5wrmyDodr5qq6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Map<\/a><\/strong><br>\u231a <strong>Hours:<\/strong> 7:30 am &#8211; 10 pm every day with some small breaks between<br>\ud83d\udcb5 <strong>Cost:<\/strong> 25,000 cop<br>\u2b50 <strong>Amenities:<\/strong> Lockers, Restaurant<br>\ud83c\udf0a Swim cap required<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Visiting Hot Springs in Colombia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned a few tips along my quest for the best hot springs, including when to go and what to bring. Here are the basic guidelines.&nbsp; It\u2019s best to avoid holidays and weekends if you can. Lots of Colombians use the termales during this time so they are often busy. For this reason, some of the termales offer weekday discounts on the entrance fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And generally, I like to arrive in the morning to allow for a full day of soaking and sauna if I feel like it. Some of the hot springs are perfect for lounging all day while taking a break with a good book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the hot springs in Colombia have accommodations on-site. Booking a room allows you to really take your time to enjoy the thermal waters. Most will allow you to enter the pools before check in. And they tend to have a late check out time, which means you get to relax and benefit from the termales two days in a row. Ahhhhh&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do tend to be in remote locations, so you\u2019ll need to factor in eating at the hotel restaurant or taking a taxi to the nearest town. The restaurants are open to day visitors as well, though I always preferred to have a nice breakfast before and bring a few snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Bring to the Termales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So that brings us to what to bring. Most facilities include changing areas, lockers (though you may need to bring your own lock), and cold showers. Some also have a sauna and availability for spa services such as massage and facial masks for an additional cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A traditional swimming suit is the preferred attire and some baths request t-shirts and other clothing not be worn in the pools. A few places, especially near Bogota, require a swimming cap for both men and women which you can purchase upon entering if you don\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to Bring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bathing Suit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Towel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Money<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic bag for wet clothes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water (lots of water to stay hydrated!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Optional<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hat\/Sunscreen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swimming Cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Snacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lock for Lockers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Best-Hot-Springs-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A vertical image of woman swimming in thermal baths in front of the hotel at Los Volcanes Termales, with text overlaying the image for Pinterest.\" class=\"wp-image-4632\" width=\"330\" height=\"512\" data-pin-description=\"10 Hot Springs in Colombia you need to visit.
