La Calera Hot Springs
Chivay’s famous La Calera hot springs are 3.5km to the northeast of the village by road. There are large, clean pools, showers, changing rooms, a snack shop and a tiny ethnographic museum. The mineral-laden water leaves the ground at 85°C and is said to have curative properties. There are frequent colectivos (S1) from around the main plaza in Chivay to the springs, or you can walk or cycle by following the road downhill past the market and taking a left. Colectivos stop running at 6pm.
