Visitors from around the world come here to bathe in mineral-rich waters, following practices that have been part of life in this region for generations. You can observe how people spend unhurried time soaking in the warm springs.
The facility has changing rooms, freshwater showers, and a lifeguard on duty to keep visitors safe. Parking is available so you can leave your car while you enjoy the springs.
