Located in Ccosla, in Peru's Apurímac region, Baños Termales Ccosla offers sulfurous water heated to around 42°C. The site includes an indoor bath as well as an outdoor rotenburo-style bath, letting bathers take in the Andean scenery while warming up.
Insider tip — Baños Termales Ccosla emerges from the high Andean terrain of Apurimac at over 3,000 metres elevation, where tectonic activity feeds sulfurous waters prized for their joint-relieving properties. The remote setting means visitor numbers are low and the natural environment remains largely undisturbed. Bring your own towel and water, as facilities are basic, and arrive early to catch the best morning light over the surrounding valleys. Acclimatise to the altitude for at least a day before soaking to fully benefit from the thermal minerals.
