Russian Valley Hot Springs

Russian Valley Hot Springs, also called Valle de Guadalupe Hot Springs, is a cluster of hot mineral springs in Baja California's Guadalupe Valley, about fifty miles south of Tecate near the town of Guadalupe. The valley was first inhabited by the Kumeyaay, many of whom still live on rancherías there. The springs were later named for Russian settlers of the Prygun faith, known as Molokans or locally as Los Russos, who moved from near Los Angeles to Baja California and built a ranching and farming community. The site is known both for its thermal waters, fed by several hot springs, and for its link to this distinctive settlement history.
