mineral spring

Up a hillside behind them is a mineral spring, once a source of fresh water for nearby villagers, who used bamboo rods as pipes to help funnel some of the steadily flowing clear current into buckets they carried home.

Sometime in 2023, the tribe is due to open the Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza on the 5.8-acre site of the mineral spring that has always been a centerpiece of tribal culture.

In addition to its full-service spa, the resort boasts the Oasis Waterfall Lagoon, a private area with fresh, naturally heated mineral spring water.

All rooms at this wellness resort come with mineral spring hot tubs.

People would go to public bathhouses, or a resort might offer a soaking pool or mineral spring.
