San Juan de Churín Essentials

San Juan de Churín is a highland retreat in the Oyón Province, situated at approximately 2,265 meters above sea level. This destination is defined by its high concentration of mineral-rich thermal springs, including the Mamahuarmi, Tingo, and La Meseta complexes. These volcanic waters vary in temperature and chemical composition, ranging from lithium-rich pools to sulfurous springs. The town center features colonial-style architecture centered around a main plaza, serving as a gateway to these medicinal waters and the surrounding Andean landscapes.
