Termales El Zipa is located in Tabio, a small municipality in Cundinamarca Department on the Bogotá Savanna, just north of the Colombian capital. The Sabana de Bogotá sits at over 2,500 metres altitude, and Tabio's thermal springs emerge from the same Andean geology that shaped this high plateau. The resort has long been a favoured weekend escape for Bogotanos seeking warmth and nature without leaving the central highlands.

The thermal water flows at a neutral pH of 7.3, filling pools that offer a welcome contrast to the cool, often foggy climate of the savanna. Surrounded by the gently rolling green hills of Cundinamarca, with eucalyptus and native shrubs framing the views, El Zipa combines the accessibility of a short drive from Bogotá with the sense of stepping into a quieter, warmer world. The altitude setting adds a particular character — crisp highland air above, enveloping thermal water below.

Insider tip — Termales El Zipa in Tabio (Cundinamarca) are family-friendly baths just 45 km north of Bogotá, in the verdant highlands of the Bogotá savanna. 'El Zipa' evokes the pre-Hispanic Muisca chiefs who ruled the region — the natural hot waters of Tabio were used long before the arrival of the Spanish.
