Aguas Termales de Putina sits on the high-altitude Bolivian Altiplano. The sulfurous thermal water reaches 38°C (pH 6.5), with an open-air pool and wild bathing in a natural setting.
Insider tip — Aguas Termales de Putina emerge from the volcanic geology of the Bolivian Altiplano near Lake Titicaca — the world's highest navigable lake (3,812 m altitude), sacred to both Inca cosmology and modern Aymara culture as the birthplace of the sun and of Manco Cápac, first Inca emperor. The surrounding altiplano is inhabited by Aymara communities who have stewarded these thermal waters for centuries; nearby totora reed island communities of Uros float on the lake's surface in a tradition dating before the Inca Empire.
