Aguas Termales de La Musuy is located in La Musuy, Merida State, Venezuela. This bicarbonate thermal spring, at 36°C, is enjoyed outdoors in a wild-bathing setting.
Insider tip — La Musuy's thermal springs emerge on the eastern slopes of the Venezuelan Andes near Merida, where tectonic faulting allows bicarbonate-rich geothermal waters to rise at moderate altitude amid paramo grasslands. The setting is high Andean savanna with frailejones plants dotting the golden hillsides, a landscape unique to the tropical Andes above 3,000 meters. The small bathing pools are fed directly by the natural spring, offering a rustic alternative to the developed spas further down valley. The nearby city of Merida, home of the world's highest cable car, makes this an ideal add-on for adventurous visitors.
