The Calera

La calera is near to Chivay, to go to Chivay you need a car. The trip between the main square of Chivay to La Calera hotspring it's about 15 minutes.

In this, there are currently at the time of this post 6 pools, 1 is not available(due to lack of mainteinance). And the other five are working. The pools' names are 1(uno),2(dos),3(tres),4(cuatro) and 5(cinco).

If you want to go to a specific pool, you can say "quiero ir a la piscina ?, porfavor"(in spanish). The pool where local people take showers and swim are the "La piscina 3". The most turistic pool is the pool 5("La piscina 5" in spanish).

This is one of the points of boiling water that comes from the ground in La Calera: (In total there is like about 4 points.) Calera point

Important:

  1. To enter to the hotspring, you need money(cash), there is no debit cards/credit cards or from cellphones payment(like paypal and so on).
  2. It costs 15 soles a entry, but you can ask if there is another prices, because it depends where pool you are going to enter.
