San Juan de los Morros is the capital of Guárico state in central Venezuela, in South America. It is a place best known for its hot springs, which give visitors a reason to slow down and soak in the warm waters after a journey across the llanos region.
What to expect
The city is a practical base for travellers exploring the state of Guárico, and its thermal springs are the main draw. A visit here suits those who enjoy a relaxed pace, time outdoors, and the everyday life of a Venezuelan provincial capital rather than a large metropolis.
Around the city
- The hot springs, the defining feature of the town
- The surrounding state of Guárico, with its open landscapes and rural character
- Regional towns and countryside that can be reached as day trips from the capital
The town is also known by the longer name San Juan Bautista de los Morros, which you may see on maps and in older references. If you are planning a stay, it is worth checking current arrangements for transport and facilities in advance, as these can change.
