Hot springs

Termas Geometricas was definitely worth the effort of getting there – a night in Coñaripe and a 40km round trip on dirt roads over another mountain pass.

Without question the best hot springs that either of us have visited – and that's quite a few, particularly for Linda.

The springs are located high up in a narrow rock valley – alongside a waterfall and the baths have been constructed along the rocky sides as the valley drops down to the river below. Very simply and imaginatively done with local materials – 14 pools ranging from 35°C to 42°C and a couple of plunge pools and showers at 9°C for the hardy.

No fancy gimmicks, or spa services - jut the pools and the water and the natural setting around you - and a cafe with an excellent ham & cheese toastie!
