Recohuata Hot Springs

These pools, set in a pretty forested canyon, make a pleasant half or full day side trip from Creel. You will generally be dropped off just past the entrance, 3km away from the springs on a bumpy cobbled road. From here a windy descent into the canyon offers impressive views right up to the springs, which are made up of five different sized pools set beside the river. They are not that hot (you won’t want them to be after that walk down) but they are a good temperature to prepare yourself for the walk back up. It is possible, in the dry, to wander down the river into the canyon or one or two hours but it is advisable to take a guide as if you walk too far into the canyon (four or more hours) there are understood to be some marijuana fields that should be avoided.
