Nature
Valle Chico Hot Springs is a thermal spring in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir of Baja California, Mexico, southwest of San Felipe at an elevation of 2,041 feet. Hot mineral water from a meteoric source emerges at 144°F, then mixes with a cold-water stream and cools to about 110°F in a nearby soaking area. The spring is subaerial and includes a ramada, fence, and line shack. Its alkaline water has a pH of 8.5 to 8.8, and a 1988 sodium-potassium geothermometer study estimated subsurface temperatures between 136°C and 169°C. The surrounding rugged mountain landscape supports a wide range of wildlife.
