Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Pérou at Churin Hot Springs, located in the Lima province of Oyón. This sulfureous thermal spring offers a unique and rejuvenating experience for visitors. The surrounding landscape provides an exceptional backdrop for relaxation and wellness. Enjoy the warm waters and serene atmosphere.
Insider tip — Churin sits in a narrow Andean canyon northwest of Lima where powerful sulfurous springs have been attracting Peruvian city-dwellers for generations. The orange-tinted travertine rock formations around the pools are a testament to centuries of mineral deposition. Weekends fill up quickly with Lima residents, so arrive early on a Saturday for the best access to the natural rock pools.
