Insider tip — Baños Termales del Inca serves the Inca-heritage thermal springs of Huancavelica Province in the Peruvian Central Andes where volcanic springs were developed by the Inca Empire as bathing complexes for the Sapa Inca and Tawantinsuyu nobility. Huancavelica was historically one of the most tragic Spanish colonial sites in South America — the Santa Barbara mercury mine established in 1563 forced indigenous laborers to extract the toxic quicksilver essential for processing Potosí silver.
