Hot Springs in Manizales: a getaway that begins among the mountains
Mist drifts across the mountains. Steam rises from the pools at the hot springs in Manizales and mingles with the cool morning air. After weeks of screens, to-do lists, and schedules, you don’t want your trip to become another plan to check off. You want to feel the warmth of a pool, take in Colombia’s scenery, and treat yourself to that time you so often put off.
At Hotel Termales El Otoño, that break can last longer than an afternoon. You can stay overnight, enjoy a good meal, and wake up among the mountains, with a whole morning ahead to return to the pools or stroll through the gardens.
What makes the hot springs in Manizales different?
There’s something you don’t see when you arrive: the water at Termales El Otoño comes from almost 2,000 meters underground and warms as it travels beneath the earth. This natural origin is part of the story of the hot springs in Manizales, a region where volcanic activity has created warm-water springs among the mountains.
And once you arrive, there are different ways to enjoy this experience:
- Three temperatures to choose from: at our Ecotermales, you’ll find pools at different temperatures. Choose the one you like best and notice how the warmth feels as you step in.
- Nature just steps away: between soaks, you can stroll through the Ecotermales gardens, feel the fresh air, and admire the vegetation growing all around. If you’re lucky, you may spot birds along the way, giving you a moment to appreciate the region’s natural beauty.
When people talk about Colombia’s best hot springs, the pools are usually the first thing that comes to mind. At hot spring hotels in Manizales like Termales El Otoño, the scenery is part of the experience: between soaks, there’s time to talk, take in nature, and leave your usual responsibilities behind for a few hours. What changes when you decide to stay for a few days?
A visit of just a few hours may leave you wanting to discover more of the destination. When you stay, you can spend a day at the pools, book some time to unwind, and head out to explore the nearby mountains. The hotel’s rooms and cabins let you spread these plans throughout your stay instead of trying to fit them all into one afternoon.
