Hot Spring Cipanas

Hot Spring Cipanas is a geothermal spring bathing facility in Indonesia, belonging to the widespread family of Cipanas (hot water) sites that punctuate the volcanic landscape of the Indonesian island arc with naturally heated mineral spring resources accessible to local communities and visitors throughout the year. Indonesia possesses the world's largest geothermal energy potential and correspondingly abundant hot spring resources, distributed along the volcanic chain from Sumatra and Java through Bali, Lombok, Flores, and Sulawesi to the Maluku Islands — a geothermal legacy of the Sunda, Banda, and Sulawesi arc systems that express the intense tectonic activity of the Indonesian archipelago's position at the convergence of three major lithospheric plates. The hot springs of this Cipanas site offer mineral-rich geothermal waters in the volcanic tropical landscape of Indonesia, in the tradition of pemandian air panas that has served Indonesian communities for generations as both a recreational resource and a beloved outdoor bathing destination.
