Termales de Jurubirá, located on Colombia's Pacific coast in the Chocó Department — one of the world's most biodiverse and rainfall-rich regions — are oligomineral hot springs accessible only by boat from the small coastal town of Nuquí, set within a pristine Pacific rainforest ecosystem of extraordinary ecological richness. The Chocó biogeographic region is one of Earth's global biodiversity hotspots, and Jurubirá's springs emerge within a landscape of endemic species, humpback whale breeding grounds, and virtually untouched lowland rainforest. The springs provide a uniquely wild thermal experience where geothermal bathing is combined with whale watching, pristine Pacific beaches, and immersion in one of the most ecologically significant wilderness areas remaining in the Americas.

Insider tip — Termales de Jurubira are rare Pacific coast hot springs accessible only by boat from Nuqui, set in one of the world's most biodiverse rainforests on Colombia's Choco coast. The sulfurous waters flow directly onto the beach, mixing with Pacific surf in a remarkable geothermal encounter where bathers wade between hot spring outflows and cool ocean swells. Humpback whales migrate along this coastline from June to October, making the combination of whale watching and hot spring bathing truly extraordinary. The Choco region receives over 10 metres of rainfall annually, ensuring lush jungle surroundings even in the drier months.
