OUR WATERS
Ojo Caliente is the only hot springs in the world with a remarkable combination of four different types of mineral water: lithium, iron, soda and arsenic. Our ten pools are filled with different types and combinations of waters with temperatures ranging from 80-109 degrees.
All of the Springs and the Spa are a Whisper Zone so that guests can have a quiet peaceful experience at this unique retreat. We appreciate your cooperation complying with this policy.
Located at the heart of the springs, the historic pump has been dispensing this unique water since the nineteenth century. Lithium is believed to relieve depression and aid digestion.
A Native American legend tells that the giant rock in the iron pool guards the place where the ancient people of the mesa once received food and water during times of famine. The warm, iron-rich water bubbles up from the natural pebble floor, providing hot spots to discover in this mystical outdoor cliffside pool. Iron is considered to be beneficial to the blood and immune system.
The rock walls in the enclosed Soda “steam” pool create a soft echo providing a sense of calm and relaxation. Water from the Soda Spring is said to have been used to relieve digestive problems.
The arsenic water is believed to be beneficial for relief from arthritis, stomach ulcers and to heal a variety of skin conditions. Water from the iron and arsenic springs is blended in various pools throughout the property.
Pools are open from 8 am to 10 pm daily.
Children 12 & under are welcome in the Large Pool only from 10 am to 6 pm with parental supervision. It is important that they also observe the whisper policy. Babies and toddlers who are not potty trained are allowed in the Large Pool if they are wearing swim diapers.
