Aguas Termales Las Yumbas is a bicarbonate-rich hot spring resort in Colombia, situated in a fertile valley of the Colombian Andes where naturally mineral-rich geothermal waters have been used for bathing by local communities since before the arrival of European colonizers. The name Yumbas references the indigenous community historically associated with this region, and the spring represents a continuity of water-based bathing traditions that connect pre-Columbian and contemporary Colombian wellness culture. The bicarbonate mineral waters are particularly appreciated for the comfort they bring to the skin and for a relaxing soak, offering visitors a naturally restorative bathing experience rooted in both indigenous knowledge and the modern Colombian hot spring tradition.
Insider tip — Aguas Termales Las Yumbas rises from bicarbonate springs in the subtropical Yumbo valleys west of Quito, where warm mineral water has been used by indigenous communities for generations. The lush subtropical setting contrasts beautifully with the cooler Andes above, creating a green, humid atmosphere around the pools. Bicarbonate content makes the water particularly effective for digestive wellness and skin hydration. The site is reachable from Quito in under two hours via the scenic Calacali-La Independencia road.
