Paipa

Located 40km northeast from Tunja, Paipa is a medium-sized town famed for its numerous hot springs. The large area of hotsprings are located a couple of kilometers outside the town. In fact back in 1568 the town was founded on its current site for that very reason and became a tourist attraction even during the early colonial period.

The hot spring water comes from an underground lake which makes it's way to the surface at various points and is piped into the various pools in the area.

Some of the hot springs are housed within the walls of expensive hotels, but many are also open to the public such as the large ITP complex located at Kilómetro 4, vía Pantano de Vargas (website).

Hotels

There are a large number of hotels catering to all budgets. The cheaper hotels tend to be found in the town itself while many of the more luxury hotels can be found along the road out to the Aguas Termales (Hot Springs).

A good option:
