Puritama Hot Springs
The crystal-clear waters of the Puritama River run through an impressive canyon in the middle of the Andes. Natural pools are formed in the middle, heated from the depths of the earth. It is a place to disconnect from the routine and connect with yourself amid foxtails and cacti while taking in the astounding contrasts in landscape.
The hot springs are in the middle of the Explora Conservation Reserve, which helps to sustain life in two broad ecoregions where the Andean Altiplano meets the driest desert in the world. We promote sustainable tourism here to protect the rich diversity of flora and fauna that inhabits this remote destination.
