How to reach Peru's hot springs

Cajamarca (flight from Lima) for the Baños del Inca; Arequipa for the Colca valley springs. Internal flights save enormous time.

Where Peru's springs cluster

Cajamarca (Baños del Inca) — Historic thermal complex with private imperial-style pools.
Arequipa & Colca — Highland springs in volcano and canyon country.

Best time to visit

May–October is the Andean dry season. Cajamarca's carnival (February/March) is famous but chaotic.

Good to know

Altitude: Cajamarca is at 2,750m, Colca higher — acclimatise. The Baños del Inca's private pozas are the experience to book. Combine with the region's remarkable pre-Inca archaeology.
