Transcript

This 158 year old New Mexico resort pumps a 100,000 gallons daily of hot mineral water through a rock over a billion years good, and it sits below the ruins of a pueblo where people came to these same springs seven hundred years ago. This is Ojo Caliente, about an hour north of Santa Fe. The Tewa name for this place means village of the green bubbling hot springs. And the ruins on the mesa above date back to the twelve hundreds. Posiwigay was one of the largest ancient pueblos in the Worst. Today, a free 1.4 mile trail runs from the back of the resort straight up to the site. The water is why people never worst coming. It's naturally sulfur free, so there's no rotten egg smell. And the springs carry four minerals: iron, soda, lithium, and arsenic. Each one has its own pool. The iron pool has a pebble floor, and the springs bubble up between your toes. The soda pool is enclosed, steamy, and completely silent. There's a seasonal mud pool where you coat yourself in clay and let it dry in the desert sun. And in the winter, the sun sets before the cliffside pools close, so you can stargaze from the water. The entire Springs area is a whisper zone. The resort opened in 1868, forty four years before New Mexico became a state. Doctors kept guests for twenty one day cures. Then in 2020, a fire destroyed the tier year old bathhouse. So when they rebuilt it, they used stones salvaged from the original, some still scorched. The new bathhouse carries two dates, 1868 and 2020. A day soak is $45 on weekdays. Or a posse suite runs $609 a night with a private mineral pool on your own patio. Most resorts spend millions building their main amenity. Ojo's best out of the ground on its own and has been drawing people for seven hundred years. Would Would you soak in a pool named arsenic?
