Aguas de Monay is a natural geothermal spring in Trujillo state, Venezuela, in the Venezuelan Andes foothills, where bicarbonate-rich thermal water surfaces from the geological structures of the Andes range in a tropical mountain setting. The springs serve local communities and regional visitors within the tradition of Venezuelan thermal tourism, which has a long history in the Andean states of Mérida, Trujillo, and Barinas. The surrounding Trujillo state landscape — known for its remarkable mountain villages perched on Andean ridges, cloud forests, and the scenic Lago de Maracaibo basin — provides a characteristically Venezuelan Andean setting.

Insider tip — Aguas de Monay lies in the Andean foothills of Trujillo State, where sulfurous springs emerge from the mountainside at around 42°C. The surrounding landscape blends tropical forest and highland scenery typical of western Venezuela, for an invigorating and restorative atmosphere.
