We stayed at Termales de Santa Teresa for three days and had the chance to really experience everything the place offers at a slower, more relaxed pace. It’s tucked into a quiet natural area, and the entire property is centered around geothermal energy—from the pools to the sauna to the mud treatment.
One of the things we appreciated most was the variety of pools. Each one had a noticeably different temperature, so we moved between them depending on the time of day and how long we wanted to soak. Some were warm and calming, others noticeably hotter, perfect for a short sit before cooling off. The water is naturally heated and slightly mineralized, which added to the restorative feel.
We also tried the volcanic mud experience. After covering ourselves completely in warm mud, we let it dry in the sun before heading into the sauna, which has a strong sulfur smell due to the natural gases—it’s intense but part of the process. After sweating it out there, we rinsed everything off in a small sulfur pond, which also had that distinct scent. It’s not luxurious, but it felt like a full cycle—heat, rest, cleanse.
Spending multiple days let us appreciate the rhythm of the place: quiet mornings, slow afternoons, and evenings under the trees. It’s not a resort, but the setting and the natural experience are what make it memorable. We left feeling lighter, relaxed, and more connected to the environment around us.
