Termales Nápoles is found in the municipality of Chocontá, in the heart of the Tenza valley, roughly an hour's drive from Bogotá. The site draws on thermo-mineral waters typical of the Cundinamarca-Boyacá region, known for their sulfur, magnesium and calcium content.

The complex features two adult thermal pools, a children's pool, a natural spring, mud baths, a steam room and a mixed-water cascade, alongside lodging for up to four guests. Open year-round, it has become a popular family getaway for Bogotá residents seeking a breath of countryside air.

Insider tip — Termales Napoles lies in the Boyaca foothills north of Chiquinquira, where sulfurous waters at 38°C feed a series of tiered natural pools carved into the hillside. The surrounding landscape of potato fields and pine-covered slopes gives the site a peaceful highland character. Local families have bathed here for generations, attributing the sulfurous waters with relief from arthritis and respiratory complaints. The spring is most accessible via a dirt road passable by any vehicle during the dry season from December to February.
