Termales de Santa Rosa de Cabal

The Termales de Santa Rosa de Cabal are among the most pretty hot springs in Colombia and are a major highlight in the Coffee Triangle. Located in a steep valley full of lush cloud forest vegetation, these hot springs offer a unique opportunity for relaxation. The cold water of imposing waterfalls flows directly next to the warm, mineral-rich pools, creating a magical contrast and a mystical atmosphere. Travelers seek out this place to enjoy the healing effects of the thermal waters and unwind amidst the untouched Andean nature. In addition to the relaxing baths, the surrounding area features excellent opportunities for hiking through the green hills. Gastronomically, the nearby town of Santa Rosa de Cabal is nationally famous for its first-class chorizo, which is a must-try for every visitor. The hot springs are most easily reached by taxi or jeep from Pereira or downtown Santa Rosa. A visit is possible year-round, but a warm bath is an especially soothing experience on cooler, rainy days.
