Our Hot Springs

Mineral waters that come out of the ground at more than 40°F than the surface temperature are called thermal waters. These waters come from underground layers of the Earth that are at higher temperatures, which are rich in different mineral components and allow their therapeutic use.

Our hot springs are classified as hypothermal since they have a temperature of 88°F.

The hot springs of Agua Blanca are totally enriched with an enormous amount of minerals. Laboratory analyzes prove that these waters contain:

carbonates
bicarbonates
chlorides
silicates
sulfates
phosphates
calcium

magnesium
lithium
sodium
potassium
aluminum
iron

The chemical composition of therapeutic water is known for:

Remarkably fast healing of both internal and external wounds
