The thermal springs of San Juan de Lagunillas are nestled in the Andean foothills near the city of Merida in western Venezuela, where sulfur-rich geothermal waters emerge from the earth at temperatures ideal for therapeutic immersion amid spectacular mountain scenery. This small agricultural town has long been known locally for the restorative qualities of its waters, channelled into bathing facilities frequented by both residents and travellers exploring the Venezuelan Andes. The surrounding landscape of Andean valleys, colonial villages, and Sierra Nevada National Park makes San Juan de Lagunillas a rewarding stop for those seeking authentic highland spa culture far from the beaten tourist trail.
