Spa Ancash: Monterrey, Chancos and Chavin

The spas offer swimming pools and natural pools. Another option is Chancos, at the foot of the snow-capped Copa Mountain, with even warmer waters that reach temperatures of 74ºC. These establishments offer swimming pools, natural pools, pools with aromatic herbs, caves and massage treatments.
