We've been looking for a place to create a "Hot Springs Retreat" - so after the latest Wolf Adventure we headed north towards Santa Fe to check out Ojo Caliente - the oldest healing Hot Springs in the US. We had visited the town of Hot Springs NM earlier (don't like calling it Truth or Consequences - that has to be the worst name change ever) We also went to Pagosa Springs Colorado for a second time to feel what those springs felt like again.
Any HOT Spring is great! - but Ojo Caliente with the Native Ruins, the meditation platforms in the mountains, the 4 different types of healing minerals, the Yurt Healing Tent for Yoga & 'Sanctuary For Souls' Seminar, the Rio Grande River Gorge, Santa Fe & Taos nearby, and the feel of the New Mexico High Country just couldn't' be beat.
Ojo Caliente, NM (Summer 2008) – Most people don’t know that the word SPA is actually the acronym for “Salud por Agua” which means “health through water.” In Northern New Mexico, you’ll find the quintessential SPA experience at a legendary oasis called Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs. Ojo Caliente is the only hot springs in the world with a remarkable combination of four different types of mineral waters in ten different pools with temperatures ranging from 80 to 109 degrees. These waters, which bubble more than 100,000 gallons to the surface every day, are rich in minerals including Lithia, Iron, Soda and Arsenic. The minerals are believed to have ancient healing benefits including relieving depression, aiding digestion, promoting healthy skin tone, relieving symptoms of arthritis, and are considered to be beneficial to the blood and immune system.The legendary oasis, now celebrating its 140th anniversary, was opened as a spa in 1868 by Antonio Joseph, New Mexico’s first territorial representative. The current owners of Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs prefer to call themselves stewards of the property believing maintaining and supporting the natural environment makes sense both environmentally and economically. Recent renovations and expansions have both enhanced the guest experience without abandoning the authentic and historic nature of the original environment. “I love this place,” says Spa Director Jeannine Dolan.
“It’s not pretentious. It’s an authentic healing center.”
-The WATERS at Ojo Caliente-
Ojo Caliente is the only hot springs in the world with a remarkable combination of four different types of mineral water: lithium, iron, soda and arsenic. Our ten pools are filled with different types and combinations of waters with temperatures ranging from 80-109 degrees.
All of the Springs and the Spa are a Whisper Zone so that guests can have a quiet peaceful experience at this unique retreat.
The Lithia Spring
Located at the heart of the springs, the historic pump has been dispensing this unique water since the nineteenth century. Lithium is believed to relieve depression and aid digestion.
The Iron Spring
A Native American legend tells that the giant rock in the iron pool guards the place where the ancient people of the mesa once received food and water during times of famine. The warm, iron-rich water bubbles up from the natural pebble floor, providing hot spots to discover in this mystical outdoor cliffside pool. Iron is considered to be beneficial to the blood and immune system.
The Soda Spring
The rock walls in the enclosed Soda “steam” pool create a soft echo providing a sense of calm and relaxation. Water from the Soda Spring is said to have been used to relieve digestive problems.
The Arsenic Spring
The arsenic water is believed to be beneficial for relief from arthritis, stomach ulcers and to heal a variety of skin conditions. Water from the iron and arsenic springs is blended in various pools throughout the property.
One of theTop 10 Hot Springs in the World! “Best Mineral Springs Spa in the United States” by SpaFinder.com
Native Americans who used the Hot Springs first called the place 'The Warm Eye' which translates to Ojo Caliente in Spanish who came next.
And Completely Uncrowded & very relaxed when we were there! There is an old turn of the century hotel, casitas, private pools with beehive fireplaces by the mountain - luxury all the way & yet
4 Types of Pools!- most Hot Springs are Sulphur or only 1 type of mineral - Ojo Caliente has 4 types & no sulphur, so no smell! The Soda Pool, the Iron Pool, The Arsenic Pool & the Lithium Pool.
MUD POOL
Here, our 13 and over guests get a chance to be a kid again. Where else can you slather mud all over your body and bake in the sun until done. As our special blend of clay dries, toxins are released from the pores of your skin and you come away feeling cleansed and refreshed.
Loretto Staircase - the banister was added later - it's as if the stairs 'float' without any visible means of support
Years ago I had read about this staircase and how a mysterious 'carpenter' showed up after the nuns prayed a novena for 9 days to help them build a staircase to their choir loft. A mysterious carpenter arrives at the end of the 9 days, no one learns his name, and using only a T square, hammer, and saw - no nails! creates a beautiful piece of art in the form of a double helix staircase that baffles experts to this day in how it stays up. Before the sisters can pay him he vanishes just as mysteriously as he arrived. A staircase that holds itself up 'miraculously' read the full story here:
