Step-by-step itinerary

The experience

You arrive in Pereira with an afternoon free, or you're staying in Armenia or Salento and want to spend a few hours in the thermal waters without arranging your own transport. San Vicente hot springs sits in the Coffee Region surrounded by forest, and the complex holds pools at varying temperatures fed by natural hot springs, along with saunas, mud baths and waterfalls you can walk under. The whole outing takes around four hours from pickup to return.

Transport picks you up from your hotel or airport in a van or microbus. You choose the time and location that fits your schedule. The driver brings you to the thermal complex, where your entry ticket (a wellness pass) is waiting. Once there, you move at your own pace between the pools, mud areas and sauna, spending as long as you want in each one. The therapeutic mineral water and the forest setting are the draw. There's no guided tour of the grounds, no activities beyond soaking and walking.

Medical assistance insurance comes with the booking, and the operator notes the thermal waters suit most fitness levels, though anyone with cardiovascular concerns should check first. If you're traveling with a service animal, it's allowed on the grounds.
