Protect your electronics
Bring a waterproof dry bag or zip-lock for phones and cameras—mineral water and waterfalls can spray unexpectedly.
Footwear matters
Use closed-toe water shoes or sturdy trail sandals with tread for muddy, uneven trails between pools.
Time your visit
Book morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid midday heat and get softer light for photos.
Hydrate and eat light
Drink water before entering hot pools and save heavier meals for after the thermal experience to avoid light-headedness.
Water shoes or sturdy trail sandals
Protects feet on wet, rocky or muddy paths and gives better grip entering pools.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
Thermal pools and waterfalls require swimwear and a towel for comfort after soaking.
Insect repellent and biodegradable sunscreen
Keeps bugs at bay and protects skin without contaminating sensitive aquatic areas.
Light waterproof layer or poncho
Useful in the rainy season for short downpours between pool stops.
