Rio Perdido Wellness Hike

This hike covers 1.5 miles (2.5 kms) round-trip. You’ll walk along a flat trail through the dry Miravalles forest until you reach the health-giving springs.

Residents from nearby Montano and Santa Fe have long held that these springs have medicinal properties. You’ll find that it tastes a bit like Alka-Seltzer—this is due to the diluted magnesium in the water.

Magnesium has been linked to lowering blood pressure and alleviating depression, among many other benefits. Your guide will offer more interesting facts about the springs’ local relevance.
