Before the days of high-tech spa treatments, wellness seekers headed to the hot springs. On your trip to Machu Picchu in Peru, you can take time to take a hot bath, in an impressive environment of abundant vegetation next to a huge river; the place seems like something out of a fantasy, but you can buy beers and snacks. Hot springs are Mother Nature's method of instilling relaxation in tired bodies. The Colcalmayo hot springs are a popular destination among travelers seeking a connection to the land and its balance. INFORMATION OF INCA JUNGLE

Cocalmayo Thermal Baths There is nothing better than taking a warm bath in nature, while enjoying a drink of "aguaymanto". Taking a bath at the Cocalmayo Thermal Baths is a great experience. It is located between a huge river and a small mountain. In Cocalmayo bathers can enjoy outdoor pools fed by natural hot springs, built between a small mountain full of vegetation and the Urubamba river. You will find 3 pools of different sizes and depths. The temperature of the water varies between 38 and 44 ºC and unlike the majority of thermal waters in Peru, it has clear waters. Very close to the pools there are cold showers, the water comes from the Uripata lagoons and is very refreshing; the mixture of waters will give you a very comforting sensation.
