Aguas de Moisés is a natural sulphurous hot spring in the Venezuelan Andes, accessible from the agricultural communities of the Mérida state interior, where geothermal water surfaces along the Andean fault systems that run through Venezuela's highest mountain range. The springs, traditionally used by local Venezuelan communities for relaxation and restorative bathing, reflect the longstanding Latin American tradition of gathering at natural thermal waters. The surrounding Venezuelan Andean landscape, with its dramatic mountain scenery, cloud forest, traditional Andean villages, and the extraordinary biodiversity of the high páramo ecosystem, provides a compelling natural and cultural context.
