Piscina Thermal Pincahuacho, in the Apurímac region of Peru, fills its indoor pools with bicarbonate thermal water at 38°C. Sauna and massage services are available.
Insider tip — Piscina Thermal Pincahuacho is set in the Apurimac region of south-central Peru, in the deep gorge country carved by the Apurimac River at roughly 2800 m. The region's complex thrust-fault geology brings warm bicarbonate groundwater to the surface along river valley margins. This area of Peru was a stronghold of Incan culture before the conquest, and bathing here connects visitors to a centuries-long tradition of thermal bathing in the Andes; nearby Andahuayala offers colonial architecture and local markets.
