Termales de Santa Rosa de Cabal
Open-air hot springs in an Andean valley, with a huge waterfall dropping from the cliff right beside the pools. It is the most popular hot spring in the coffee region.
The Termales de Santa Rosa de Cabal lie in a valley about 9 km east of Santa Rosa town in Risaralda Province. The volcanic geothermal water is about 40°C. The site has two areas: a hot spring zone next to the resort hotels and a public bathhouse area. Its main attraction is a waterfall about 170 m high that plunges down the cliff right next to the pools. You can visit as a day trip or stay at a valley hotel and soak at night. Tickets sell out on weekends, so buy them in advance. Take a bus from Pereira or Santa Rosa town. Nights in the mountains are cold, so bring a jacket.
