The most beautiful natural sites to discover Chivay

These are the most famous baths, as they are the largest in the region. The five pools of thermal water, at 32 and 40 °C, are very pleasant to relax in and constitute the main interest of this village. You can get there on foot or by colectivo (local bus), leaving from Calle del General Moràn for S/ 1. Preferably, go in the morning to have a lot less people, as most of the travel agencies go there from 3 p.m. onwards once their excursion is over.

Located about twenty kilometers northwest of Chivay, Mount Mismi (5,597 m) is none other than the source of the largest river in the world, the Amazon! The Apacheta torrent that flows from Nevado Mismi will become great! It is considered to be the furthest source of the Amazon network from the mouth of the river, which flows into the Atlantic almost 6,800 km downstream, in Brazil. The small torrent soon joins the Apurímac river, which in turn joins the Ucayali and then the Marañón further north, to form the Amazon river.
