Aguas Termales de Churín

Churín is a picturesque colonial town in the Huaura Valley of Lima Region, Peru, renowned as one of the country's premier thermal spa destinations with a tradition of mineral spring bathing stretching back centuries before the Spanish conquest. The bicarbonate and sulphurous thermal waters emerge at various temperatures from sources along the narrow valley carved by the Río Huaura through the western Andes foothills. Churín's multiple bathhouse complexes — ranging from simple communal pools to private cabin baths — welcome visitors within a long thermal tradition associated with relaxation and well-being in a traditional Andean atmosphere. The dramatic gorge scenery, cool highland air, and mineral waters make Churín Peru's most celebrated inland spa retreat and a beloved weekend destination for Lima residents.
