Central Churín

The municipal market is right next door to the hotel, and the Plaza de Armas and the rest of the town center are easy to explore on foot. Try the trout, which you'll find on almost every menu in town. Nights are cool at this altitude, so bring a light jacket for the walk back.

By bus: several companies run buses to Churín from Plaza Norte in Lima.

The hot springs

Each complex has pools at different temperatures, so you can choose how hot you like it.

About 13 min on foot or 5 min by car

Mamahuarmi

Open-air turquoise pools among eucalyptus and molle trees. Favorites are the Poza de los Novios and the Velo de la Novia, a small waterfall you can stand under. For quiet, head to La Mellicera, the most secluded pool.

About 11 min on foot or 5 min by car

La Juventud

On the left as you enter town. Choose the large shared pools or a family pool, and don't miss the strong water jet that works like a massage. The Poza de la Amistad and Poza Uchuj are outdoors.

10 min by car or local transport

Tingo

Past the Tingo bridge on the right bank of the Huaura. The water comes out of the rock hot and fills pools at different temperatures, perfect for a long soak. There are private pools, a mud pool and an outdoor pool.
