Aguas Calientes de San José de las Matas, located in the Santiago Province of the Dominican Republic in the fertile Cibao Valley at the foot of the Cordillera Central, are sulfurous and oligomineral springs that have attracted bathers from the region for generations. The springs emerge in a wooded mountain setting accessible from the important agricultural town of San José de las Matas, offering a natural thermal retreat within the Dominican Republic's largest and most mountainous protected area landscape. San José de las Matas is the gateway to the Armando Bermúdez National Park and its cloud forests, and the thermal springs provide a geothermal complement to the region's exceptional hiking and natural heritage.
