Colombia is bursting with thermal pools set in beautiful nature. One of the most famous thermal baths can be found just 1.5 hours away from Bogot\u00e1, namely Termales Santa M\u00f3nica in Choach\u00ed. A well-known place among Bogotans to spend the weekend. But this is also a good place for travelers to end their round trip or escape the cold in Bogot\u00e1, for example. By the way, you can perfectly combine these thermal pools with a visit to the highest waterfall in Colombia, as we did. In this article you will read all about Termales de Choach\u00ed and I will tell you how to combine it with a hike to the waterfall La Chorrera. Includes all the practical tips.<\/p>\n

The hot springs in Choach\u00ed, also called Termales de Choach\u00ed, are a perfect day trip from Bogot\u00e1 to enjoy the heat, fresh air and relaxation. In addition, these thermal pools are located in a beautiful green setting among the mountains. Because of its lower elevation than Bogot\u00e1, it is also immediately a lot warmer, quite nice after chilly Bogot\u00e1.<\/p>\n
The water in the thermal baths comes from a hot spring and has a high mineral content. Which minerals are in the baths is indicated for each bath. Because of the minerals, the water smells a little. The water from the hot spring is 80\u00b0C hot and is distributed to several baths with a temperature between 30 and 38 degrees Celsius. There are exclusive baths for guests of the hotel<\/strong><\/a> and public baths for everyone. These consist of large pools, smaller pools for children, Jacuzzis and small hot tubs.<\/p>\n There are also saunas and Turkish steam baths. These are always open, but on weekdays only 1 sauna and 1 steam bath. The steam room is a bit higher up and is heated by the thermal spring below. Because of this, it smells very much like sulfur and is great for relaxing for a while. The view of the mountains and the thermal pools is beautiful. There is also a separate Spa area with a waterfall and a separate area for massages, among other things. This was closed during our visit, but looks very nice in the photos. More information about the Spa here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Termales Santa M\u00f3nica also has a restaurant and bar where you can eat. You will find plenty of changing rooms, lockers, (cold) showers and deck chairs. Although I can so imagine that the latter fill up quickly on weekends.<\/p>\n More information can be found on the website.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\tSauna, steam room and spa<\/h3>\n
