Pick up and drop off point
After a short walk near the mountains, you will get to the first one where a small waterfall will be running water into dozens of hot tubes, all of them at different temperatures. The second one will need a short hike to the foot of a different hot waterfall. It is well known that thermal springs minerals help cleanse your body of toxins and improve oxygenation and blood flow. And, of course, the sole purpose of coming to the hot springs is actually to be on them, so, after all the talking we will give you time enough for you to take a break and only focus on yourself.

It was a great experience. Everything was well organized, the staff was punctual and kind, and the place itself was absolutely amazing.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed such an incredible place. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours!
Unfortunately the advertisement for this “tour” is misleading. We were not brought to the town, we did not try the chorizo, and the driver was unhelpful. He spoke complex Spanish and made little effort to make it easy for us to understand (although we speak conversational Spanish). He dropped us with no explanation of what the set up is like at the springs, he gave zero explanation of the springs or the town, and he wasn’t friendly. In short, this is not a tour - it’s a very expensive taxi service that I suggest you arrange yourself. Also as a heads up I’d recommend you go early as it was very busy when we went.
Hello, We sincerely apologize if the service did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that what you described is precisely what we advertise and offer: private transportation to and from the hot springs from Salento, Filandia, Pereira, or Armenia, as well as the entrance tickets to the springs. Additionally, please note that a refund has been issued in your favor as part of our commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. Thank you for your feedback, and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Best regards, Juan Franco
Amazing driver, took a good care of us from the beginning to the end! The experience was great, even though it rained a lot we had a blast!
Hola Emil, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our driver took great care of you and made your experience enjoyable despite the rain. We hope to see you again in the future!
I believe maybe i read the info for this experience wrong but this was way too over priced for what i got. I really thought i would have an english speaking driver that would help me understand all the histories of the places we drove through. I just got a driver who know no english, who then dropped me off at the Springs and i was left to figure it out on my own. A police officer had to help me get my band and talk to me via Google translate so i can get inside. Inside i felt so lost as i really thought i would have had someone who can speak english to guide me. The springs were unique but this is more recommended for a group activity as it would be a better experience that way. Additionally, when i got to the springs and saw how much it was to enter, i really felt like i over paid for this experience on Viator
Hola Jeremy. We're sorry you didn't have the experience you expected. However, with all due respect, we would like to clarify a couple of things in order not to have misunderstandings. First of all, kindly take into account that you were booking a private service from a place not too near from the location of the tour. All of this raises the price of the service. Indeed, there are public means of transportations that may be cheaper but you chose a private service, therefore the price. Secondly, in all the platforms where our service is provided, we make it clear that the tour DOES NOT include a tour guide but only the driver. We are really serious about informing tourists all the details of what we offer so we respectfully suggest for future occasions to read carefully all the descriptions and information offered by the company so you are sure of what you are getting and this way you don't have a bad experience and we, the operators, don't get affected by negative reviews. Warm regards, the Gran Colombia Tours Team!
It is a very incredible place. I recommend visiting it. They have 3 shifts 7am-10am 11am-5pm and 5pm to 10pm. It’s better buy the tickets before you go. We use a private guide and he help us to skip the line to get in. You can’t enter foods and drinks only water. You find 2 different kinds of restaurants on place.
Thank you for the review. We're glad you had a nice experience in Santa Rosa and you recommend it.
Colombia may be the most self-sufficient country on the planet, *it is my particular opinion* in food and services it is complete, and in education it is 10*
Hola! Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra saber que tienes esta opinión tan buena sobre Colombia. Nos entusiasma y motiva a seguir mostrando lo mejor de nuestro país. Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to know that you have such a good opinion about Colombia. It excites and motivates us to continue showing the best of our country.
Relaxing, economical, good service and easy to get to, better to go on a Friday when it may be less congested

An unforgettable experience!! The waterfalls were truly amazing and the hot springs were great. Mauricio, our driver was just incredible, super kind and knowledgeable. We believe the Santa Rosa waterfalls and hot springs are a “MUST visit” marvel in Colombia’s Eje Cafetero.
