How to get to the hot springs of Chimur?

You have two routes that lead to the Chimur Hot Springs from the city of Cusco:

  1. Route: Cusco – Calca – Ampares – Chimur
  2. Route: Cusco – Paucartambo – Challabamba – Chimur.

Cusco – Calca – Ampares – Chimur Route

This is the shortest route, it takes 4 hours to get to the hot springs of Chimur. However, it is a bit dangerous because the road is not asphalted, so it is not recommended during the rainy season.

Cusco – Paucartambo – Challabamba – Chimur route

This is the longer route, it takes about 5 hours to reach the thermal baths of Chimur. However, it is less dangerous as this route is asphalted and we additionally have the option to visit Paucartambo, a city full of customs and picturesque streets.

Profissionalismo e confiança Eu e meu marido passamos 16 dias no Peru (Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Puno e Águas Caliente). Fizemos diversos passeios com a Dreamy Tours e estou extremamente satisfeita. No dia em que pareceu que teríamos um problema, conversei na agência e foi tudo resolvido imediamente. O atendimento é muito pessoal. Estou totalmente satisfeita com a agência que inclusive, foi indicada por uma colega que também deu nota 10.
