Termales

If I have got this correct this link should take you to some photos I took at the termales.

In other posts some people seem to have reservations as to the safety of traveling there. We went and I felt safe. That does not mean we did not have any close calls I just never observed anything that made me nervous.

My wifes brother thought we were a little crazy for going. Who knows?

I would and will go again.

I was told the waters were heated by volcanic activity.

They divert some of this water into swimming pools with the ones higher in elevation and closer to the stream being warmest.

You can see some primative campsites and there is a hotel on site as well as a bar and changing rooms.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful place, but where? I've been to a few termales including Paipa and Santa Rosa near Pereira. Would you let us know where this place is at?

There are nice termales in Coconucos, Cauca, too. Too bad it's only the guerrilla who dares to go and soak their aching bones in them. It's not that far from Tierradentro and the amazing burial caves painted in ochre and black and the Volcan of Puracé.

We went to Coconucos once, a long time ago. What a scenery!
