Baños Termales La Meseta is a thermal spring facility in the Pachangara district of Oyón province in the Lima region of Peru, in the famous Churín thermal spring area — one of Peru's most celebrated hot spring destinations, known as a premier thermal resort for Lima's population accessible via a scenic mountain road through the Huaura River canyon in the western Andes foothills northwest of the Peruvian capital. Churín's fame as a thermal resort derives from the quality and variety of its mineral spring waters, which emerge at different temperatures and mineral compositions from the hydrothermal systems of the western Andean cordillera, and the area has developed a concentration of thermal establishments serving the domestic health and wellness tourism market since the early twentieth century. La Meseta's thermal facility offers naturally heated mineral spring bathing in the Churín tradition, providing Lima residents with a celebrated Andean thermal wellness destination within a few hours' journey from the coastal capital.

Insider tip — Baños Termales La Meseta occupies a remote Andean location in Huánuco Department, where sulfurous springs emerge from the montane forest at moderate altitude. The waters carry a distinctive rotten-egg aroma typical of volcanic origin and are traditionally used by local communities for skin and respiratory ailments. Reaching this site requires a journey through stunning cloud-forest scenery, making the soak feel genuinely earned. Early morning mist over the pools and the sound of Andean birds overhead add to the immersive highland atmosphere.
