Amazing thermal water just a few miles away from the ocean, in the middle of a native community village. The entrance fee is $5 per person. The local archeology museum is included. And, don't forget to try their local dish "seco de chivo"; it was very good.

Sulfur hot springs and mud bath. The entrance is $5 and includes a small Jell-O shot to do a mud mask. $10 will get you a 20 minute massage and full body mud mask. It is an indigenous community and it is wonderful to see how they live off the land and maintain it.

This is thermal waters in Manabi, administered by the community, they also offer professional massages with local tree (palo santo) oil

I give it a 3 because my friends liked it. The rotten eggs smell was just too much for me.

Even though it smells a little because of the sulfur, it is really refreshing and the additional spa services make it a whole experience.

It's $5 to enter, and it's a trek ... either go in your personal vehicle or arrange for transportation. Had a blast - suggest taking a group of people you enjoy. The pool really does have regenerative properties - you leave feeling totally relaxed and refreshed.

Interesting place to have a mud bath and massage. They also have a small but nice museum.

This place makes the best shampoo, and soap gives wonderful massages
