Termales Malú del Río is a bicarbonate-rich riverside hot spring resort in Colombia named after Malú, a local figure or family associated with this riverine thermal bathing site, where naturally heated mineral waters emerge beside or into a mountain river. The riverside setting adds a dynamic natural dimension to the bathing experience, with the sound and sight of flowing river water complementing the warmth of the naturally heated bicarbonate spring pools. The bicarbonate mineral waters are appreciated for their gentle character and the softness they leave on the skin, and the resort provides a welcoming environment where the pleasures of Colombian river culture and hot spring tradition are enjoyed together.

Insider tip — Termales Malu del Rio occupies a river valley in the Boyaca highlands where bicarbonate-rich water emerges at a moderate temperature suited to long, relaxing soaks. The Eastern Andes of Boyaca are dotted with colonial villages and scenic farmland, giving this thermal site an unhurried, traditional character. The bicarbonate chemistry softens the skin and is reputed locally to aid digestion and respiratory health. The riverside location adds a pleasant ambient soundtrack of flowing water to every visit.
