Insider tip — Banos Termales De Acaya is located in the Junin highlands of the central Andes at roughly 3400 m, in a remote valley accessible by unpaved roads from Tarma or La Merced. The springs display a light sulfurous character alongside bicarbonate mineralization, typical of the volcanic-sedimentary sequences of central Peru. The surrounding landscape alternates between cloud forest fingers and open puna, and the isolation means visitor numbers remain low, preserving a genuine wild-springs experience.
