Balneario La Calera is a bicarbonate-rich mineral spring resort near the municipality of La Calera in the Eastern Andes of Colombia, situated at elevation in the cool mountain landscape that overlooks Bogotá and the Sabana de Bogotá plateau. The bicarbonate mineral waters of La Calera are traditionally appreciated for a relaxing, restorative soak, and the balneario — traditional Colombian bathing resort — draws visitors from the capital seeking a weekend escape into the clean mountain air of the Eastern Cordillera. The setting in the Andean highlands above Bogotá gives Balneario La Calera a distinct microclimate and natural serenity that enhances the restorative experience of immersing in the naturally mineral-rich spring waters.
Insider tip — Balneario La Calera taps into bicarbonate-rich thermal springs in Nariño Department near the Ecuador border, offering gently effervescent pools set in lush Andean cloud forest. The mild temperature makes extended soaking comfortable even on cool highland evenings. The facility is small and family-run, maintaining a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Local guides can arrange visits to nearby indigenous markets to round out the cultural experience.
