Termales Tajumbina is a thermal spring site near La Cruz in the Nariño department of southern Colombia, where geothermal waters emerge from the volcanic terrain of the Colombian Massif — the great Andean watershed from which the Cauca, Magdalena, Patía, and Amazon tributaries originate — in one of the most geologically dynamic regions of the northern Andes. The Nariño department straddles the Colombian-Ecuadorian border and encompasses active volcanoes, high-altitude páramo ecosystems, and indigenous Pastos communities with deep traditions of relationship with the land and its hot springs. The thermal waters of Tajumbina offer a natural bathing experience rooted in the ancestral thermal culture of Colombia's southwestern Andean communities.

Insider tip — Termales Tajumbina is located in the municipality of Cumbal (Nariño), near the Cumbal volcano (4,764 m) and the border with Ecuador. The thermal springs emerge in an Andean páramo landscape above 3,000 m elevation. The Pasto people, guardians of the territory, incorporate the baths into their ancestral cultural practices.
