The heat rises in thin veils from the ravine as you step under a wooden bridge and the forest takes the conversation back from the city. Pine trunks close ranks, wet earth scents the air, and steam threads between beams of late-morning light. At Termas Geométricas the pools are small stages—16 copper-red baths set along a narrow gorge—each holding water that arrives from underground like a hidden river insisting on being seen.
