These baths in Minasmocco, Cusco Region, combine iron-rich and bicarbonate minerals in water at 36°C, pH 6.3. Indoor pools, massage and a sauna offer a relaxing high-altitude moment.
Insider tip — Set in the high Andean altiplano southeast of Cusco, these iron-rich springs emerge from mineral-laden volcanic rock at a moderate temperature suited to the altitude. The reddish hue of the water and ochre mineral deposits on surrounding stones signal a high iron content that locals have used for generations to treat joint ailments. The surrounding landscape of puna grassland and snow-capped peaks provides a dramatic backdrop. Acclimatize to the altitude for a day in Cusco before bathing to fully enjoy the experience.
