Something not right?

Description

Banos filled by warm sulphur springs near the ruins. Five rooms of private baths with slightly hot water. They sell soap and shampoo and the tubs are huge. A welcome break for those missing their bath tubs. Don't expect to fill the tub with water because it takes too long. 4 soles per adult with a 20 minute limit. Open until 6 on Saturday.

It's important to know that locals don't use these warm baths to soak in and relax their muscles as you might expect. The locals basically use these as hot bath tubs. Many people don't have hot water in their home... so this is a luxury bath. Don't expect to fill the entire tub up with hot water and soak. It took me 20 minutes to get 4 inches of water in my bath tub. Also the water isn't very hot... it's just slightly warm. The water quickly cools down as well. So you are left in 4 inches of water trying to splash yourself like a child. I was very disappointed with my experience. When they unplugged the water in one of the other tubs in the adjacent room... all of their dirty bath water rushed up from the drain and into my tub. I jumped out immediately.

Good time : a room with a tub for the 4 of us. Same price. Clean. Very relaxing after 6 hours driving.

Good baths, plenty of sulphur in them. There is a single parking spot at the top but we parked on the street and were fine. No time limit for us.
