Aguas Termales de Ciénaga is a sulfurous hot spring near the city of Ciénaga in Magdalena Department, Colombia, situated in the lowland foothills between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — the world's highest coastal mountain range — and the Caribbean coast. The thermal waters emerge from geothermal activity associated with the complex geology of the Sierra Nevada massif, and their sulfurous mineral content reflects the volcanic processes underlying this isolated mountain system. Local residents and visitors from the Caribbean coast take advantage of the naturally heated sulfurous waters for relaxation within a long thermal tradition, finding a tropical thermal bathing experience in the humid warmth of Colombia's Caribbean foothills.

Insider tip — Aguas Termales de Cienaga sits in Colombia's Caribbean foothills where geothermal activity brings warm sulfurous water to the surface near the town of Cienaga. The spring is an informal bathing spot popular with locals seeking relief from the coastal humidity. Water temperature is mild and inviting even in the tropical lowland heat. The site offers a glimpse of everyday Colombian life well off the tourist trail.
