Thermal Pool in Villa de Leyva

After a long trek, I booked a trip to the thermal pools with a tour company that provides a return transfer.

The thermals were located about 20 mins drive from Villa de Leyva, and the sun has already set by the time we arrived (around 7pm).  I was surprised to find that people were carrying torchlights to walk down the path from the carpark.  Even more surprising was when I arrived at the thermals.  It was pitch black and it looked like a totally natural setting..

There were 3 open-air hotpools, surrounded by a rocky path surface.  A small hut was located at the back, which functions as a changing cum bag storage area.  Some candles were lit beside the hot pools, and with the star filled night sky above head, it provided a romantic setting for couples (a pity I was alone!).

The water was nice and warm and I spent the next 1.5 hours soaking in the hotpools until my skin started to wrinkle, before heading up and catching my transportation back to Villa de Leyva

Perfect wind-down after the long trek today!
