Tucked into the verdant hills of Coamo on the southwestern side of the island, the Coamo Thermal Baths (Aguas Termales de Coamo, in Spanish) offer visitors a relaxing escape from the bustle of the metro area life. For locals and tourists, coming to these famous thermal springs is like a spa day in the countryside. For certain regulars — some of who have been coming to the hot spring for years — the mineral waters help ease different conditions, including diabetes, gout, circulation problems, respiratory issues, and joint pain.

There is a certain magic to these waters, which local legend says are Juan Ponce de León's coveted Fountain of Youth. In 2010 the facilities were renovated and modernized to include two pools, a spa, a gift shop, and a café.

Behind the Serrallés Castle is the imposing Cruceta del Vigía, a high tower located on a hill overlooking the whole city; and the Jardín Japonés, a beautiful natural space with trees, bonsai, and ponds.
