Hilarious to read all the Reviews complaining about the water wuality. The muddy coloration of the water is because of the sediments, not because it’s dirty. In fact it’s actually healthy and can be used for medical purposes. It’s unfiltered, just as it comes out of the ground. After a long day of hiking there is nothing better than soaking in a nice warm pool. This is a charming, very basic hot spring bath that the locals visits. The way to the hot spring is steep (but if you came here to see Machu Picchu what were you expecting). Entrance fee is 20 Sol. On your way up you’ll pass couple of places where you can rent towels (around 3 Sol) and even a swim suit. There are changing cabins and free locker rooms. Entrance to the bath is allowed only wearing swimsuits, no street shoes allowed. There a couple of different pools with varying temperatures, from 14*C (57*F) up to 37*C (99*F). There is a bar and they will serve you drinks while you are soaking in the bath. Absolutely loved this place, charming and relaxing.

The town may be called Aguas Calientes (hot waters), but the water is tepid at best. I might just be a little bitter because someone took my hat after I forgot it on a peg in one of the dressing rooms. The setting of the baths are second to none. Think towering, forest-covered mountains and an impressive view down the valley. I do feel, however, that the baths would have been way more appropriate for the setting if they used the plentiful natural stone to build a bath-complex that fits with the ruins everyone is so eager to see. That being said, the small pools are easier to clean. This is essential, since every night they drain and scrub the baths for the next day. It was not the the most hygienic setup by the time we arrived in the late afternoon. And it made me miss the meticulous, clean onsen culture in Japan.

Me dejé llevar por las opiniones positivas en internet, obviando un tanto las negativas, y fui, y definitivamente no las recomiendo. Comienzo por comentar que fui a este lugar hace 1 semana, es decir, en temporada baja, no habían en total más de 10 personas usuarias de las termas en el momento en que fui. En primer lugar, debes comprar el ticket de entrada (20 soles por persona) en un primer punto en donde te encuentras carteles que advierten que una vez que compras la entrada simplemente no puedes devolver el ticket, y este punto de venta está ubicado al principio del recinto, a unos 5-10 minutos (caminando) de las termas, por lo tanto, compras sólo con la confianza de que será una buena experiencia. Al llegar arriba a las termas, claramente te encuentras con un paisaje natural precioso, pero lamentablemente también con piscinas de color MUY turbio, con pelos y un olor realmente insoportable, especialmente las de 37° (las más utilizadas), lo que aparentemente no se debe al azufre, ya que es posible comparar que la piscina de 14° (la que posee los mismos componentes y minerales) está de color casi transparente y sin mal olor, lo que coincide con que es la piscina menos utilizada por ser de temperatura fría. Luego de esta sorpresa comprendí el por qué de los carteles que advertían que no es posible una devolución del dinero al principio del recinto (relativamente distante del lugar de las termas). Como comentario final, la atención del personal del lugar no es la mejor, los baños no tenían papel higiénico y se encontraban malolientes y sucios, por lo que mi estadía en el lugar fue muy corta, sintiendo haber perdido mi dinero. Después de esta desafortunada experiencia, decidí tomarlo simplemente como un hecho que no debía opacar lo maravilloso que es el pueblo de Aguas Calientes, pero sin dudas debía escribir esta reseña por si le es de utilidad a alguien más. Gracias por leer mi comentario.

I really enjoyed my time at Aguas Calientes hot spring. The walk to the springs is pleasant, the water was 93 - 100 degrees with cold fountains. They have a 1.5 hr limit, which they didn't seem to mind a longer stay. I nearly had the place to myself around 9am both days. Quaint, shamanistic / Inka bar area, clean facilities. Bring your own toilet paper as with most things in Peru. Free locker service and friendly staff. I found prior reviews to be misleading, potentially posted by people who are unfamiliar with hot spring water variations, and or need something to complain about.

local hot spring spa, definitely worth a visit and experience with a view of the mountains and nature. it is one of the few interesting places in the area.. Info: it's a local Wellness, don't expect a hotel holiday inn but a great experience of the place 😂😉 Info two: at the entrance you pay an entrance fee of around 10-20 pen / the towel is included in the price, I can't confirm, I took mine from the hotel Info: there is a changing room for women and men separately, showers and free clothes storage, you get a key to your locker, everything is safe 🌞🏔️🌺😀

There are some negative reviews but quando en Aguas Calientes, vamos en aguas calientes! It costs 20 soles for extranjeros and es necesario to bring a towel and swimsuit. There are private change rooms and the locker is included in the price. Staff will ensure that people go to the shower area before entering the hot spring tubs. There is a slight sulphur smell, but that's to be expected with thermal baths. I would advise showering again before changing, and checking out the waterfall (included in the price) upon exiting the hot spring portion of this area.
