O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Eight natural pools are constantly filled with 33-degree water that bubbles out of the mountain in a narrow canyon. The spring sits at an altitude of 3,475 meters and has been used by the desert's indigenous peoples for hundreds of years.
Istaknuto: The water holds a constant 33 degrees and flows in a gentle waterfall from pool to pool, while steam rises toward the cactus-covered canyon wall. Lying still in the warm, clear-blue spring while the desert wind cools your face is an experience few places can match.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear water shoes, the bottom is slippery and covered in slick stones.
- Climb up to the upper pools for the best photo spot, where the canyon narrows.
- Avoid swimming with your camera in hand, the steam fogs up the lenses in a flash.
- Save the lowest pool for last, it is the warmest and has the fewest people.
