Coconuco Hot Springs
Termales de Coconuco
A natural hot spring area in the Andean valley, where the Agua Hirviendo and Aguatibia pools are the top choice for locals' weekend soaks.
Coconuco lies about 30 km from Popayán at the foot of the Puracé volcano, where geothermal resources are abundant. There are two main hot spring sites. Agua Hirviendo has several pools at different temperatures and mud baths, and it is open at night too. Aguatibia is larger, with water slides and mud pools, surrounded by mountains. Admission is about 20,000–40,000 pesos. Minibuses to Coconuco run from Popayán, and it makes a good half day of relaxation.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–22:00 (varies by spring)
