The Baños Termales de Pinaya are located in Santa Lucía, Lampa province, Puno region, Peru. Sulfurous thermal water flows here at 40°C into indoor pools, with a sauna and massage services available.
Insider tip — Pinaya thermal springs emerge from the volcanic geology of Peru's Puno Region altiplano — the vast plateau surrounding Lake Titicaca (3,812 m altitude) that was the cultural and spiritual heart of the Inca Empire. Santa Lucía province is in the high puna grasslands where alpaca and vicuña herds drift across rolling hills; these thermal springs have served Aymara and Quechua communities as ritual and healing spaces for centuries, in a landscape where the altitude makes warm water exceptionally welcome.
