This exciting 2-day adventure takes you into the steaming yet soothing waters of Cocalmayo Hot Springs then up the cliffs for an exhilarating zipline course zooming through a rainforest canopy and whizzing past breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys; and capping the tour with a savory lunch at a nearby waterfall.
Here are the top 5 reasons why this Cocalmayo Hot Springs Tour is special:
Unique and beautiful setting: Unlike most hot springs in Peru, Cocalmayo’s thermal pools boast clear waters and are nestled between a vast river and a small, lush mountain.
Relaxing and therapeutic: The mineral-rich waters are known for their therapeutic properties, helping to soothe muscles, improve circulation, and ease stress.
Multiple pools with varying temperatures: There are four pools at Cocalmayo, each with a slightly different temperature ranging from 38°C to 44°C, so you can find the perfect spot to soak and relax.
Natural surroundings: Enjoy the beauty of the surrounding rainforest while you bathe, and keep an eye out for local wildlife! There’s a nearby zipline course and waterfall for a touch of adventure
Convenient location: The hot springs are just a 20-minute ride from the town of Santa Teresa, making them a perfect day trip or relaxing stop on your Peruvian adventure. It is also a popular stop for trekkers and travelers heading to or from Machu Picchu, making it a convenient relaxation spot after a hike.
