Pozos Termales (El Valle Hot Springs)
Pozos Termales
Small hot spring pools inside a volcanic crater, where you smear on volcanic mud before soaking in the warm water. Simple but fun.
Pozos Termales sits on the edge of the forest south of town and consists of several small pools fed by volcanic geothermal water at about 35–38°C, rich in minerals. Visitors usually first smear themselves with the volcanic mud provided on site, let it dry, rinse off, and then soak in the hot spring pools. It is a must-do easy experience in El Valle de Antón. The facilities are basic, the site is small, and it gets crowded on weekends. Admission is about US$3–5. It is open roughly 08:00–17:00, and towels can be rented. Wear an old swimsuit, since the mud may stain.
