La Calera Thermal Waters

Reviewed By 815maryz - Austin, United States

This was a great way to spend our afternoon It was 1 sole there and 1 sole back. Super cheap. Entrance is 15 soles. There are 5 pools we went in 3 of them. The others seemed to crowed by children. The pools were a nice hot temp and pretty relaxing. We shared a beer while in the pool. They did not care if you had glass. The lockers inside are also a bonus!
