Located in the picturesque town of Urmiri, Oruro, Bolivia, at an altitude of 3700 meters, the Aguas Termales de Urmiri is a breathtaking thermal spring nestled on the slopes of the Bolivian Andes. This enchanting destination offers a unique opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate amidst the majestic mountain scenery. The bicarbonate-rich waters of the spring are appreciated within a long thermal tradition, making it a haven for those seeking relaxation and wellness. As you soak in the warm waters, you'll be surrounded by the serene beauty of the Andean landscape.

Insider tip — Urmiri thermal springs lie on the altiplano west of Oruro at nearly 3700 metres elevation, making them among the highest bikable thermal bathing sites in Bolivia. The alkaline bicarbonate water has a smooth, silky feel and emerges cool enough by Andean volcanic standards to be immediately comfortable. The surrounding treeless puna landscape under enormous Bolivian skies gives the setting an austere, otherworldly beauty. Bring sunscreen rated SPF 50 or above as UV radiation at this altitude is significantly more intense than at sea level.
