07-08-25

The event will take place in the city of Paipa – Boyacá from September 24 to 26, organized by the Municipality of Paipa, the Thermal Institute of Paipa, and the Government of Boyacá.

Paipa, located in the Department of Boyacá in Colombia, is preparing to host in 2025 one of the most important international events dedicated to health tourism, wellness, and thermal waters: TERMATALIA. This renowned fair, which for over two decades has promoted the exchange of knowledge and experiences in thermalism, will be held for the first time in Colombia, marking a milestone for the tourism sector of the country and the entire Latin American region.

Termatalia Colombia 2025 will serve as a global platform to showcase Colombian thermal destinations, highlighting their natural wealth, growing infrastructure, and potential as a benchmark in health and wellness tourism. With previous editions held in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay, the fair returns to Latin America to consolidate the region’s progress in the use of thermal resources and the professionalization of the sector.

The event will be held under the theme “The Well-being of Water”, emphasizing not only the healing and preventive power of thermal waters, but also their role as a driver of economic, social, and environmental development. In a global context where holistic wellness is gaining increasing relevance, TERMATALIA offers an exceptional space to connect tourism, health, innovation, sustainability, and culture.

During the days of the fair, Paipa will become a hub for international experts, tourism operators, thermal service providers, academic institutions, and government representatives interested in advancing wellness tourism from a comprehensive perspective. Countries from Europe, the Americas, and Asia are expected to attend, fostering cooperation networks and long-term strategic alliances.

In addition to the traditional exhibition area—where destinations, companies, and organizations will present their offerings—TERMATALIA Colombia 2025 will feature a comprehensive professional program. This includes specialized forums, technical workshops, business roundtables, familiarization trips for international tour operators, and a press mission with media outlets specialized in tourism, health, and lifestyle.

A key focus of this edition will be training, with topics such as the therapeutic use of mineral-medicinal waters, design and management of thermal centers, regulations and legislation, scientific research in hydrotherapy, best practices in sustainable thermal destinations, and opportunities for technological innovation in the sector.

Colombia boasts an extensive network of hot springs spread across various regions of the country—from the Andean zone to the Coffee Axis, and through volcanic areas rich in hydrothermal resources—with Paipa standing out as a leader in this type of tourism. Many of these waters are classified as mineral-medicinal, enabling the development of specialized tourism products that combine wellness, nature, culture, and preventive health.

The selection of Paipa as the host city of Termatalia 2025 is the result of a coordinated strategy among public and private entities seeking to position the country on the international map of wellness tourism. This event will not only attract visitors and investors but also promote the development of public policies, professional training plans, and promotional strategies that benefit local communities and strengthen national offerings.

Economically, the fair is expected to have a positive impact on the city, both in terms of visitor arrivals and the generation of business opportunities and knowledge transfer. Hosting Termatalia in Paipa will also support the internationalization of products and services, as well as the promotion of emerging destinations seeking to differentiate themselves through a wellness- and health-focused approach.

This fair represents a unique opportunity to reinforce the role of water as an element of identity, healing, and transformation. In a world increasingly seeking balance and quality of life, Colombia emerges as an ideal setting to promote a tourism model centered on people, respect for nature, and territorial sustainability.

Termatalia Colombia 2025 will be more than just a fair—it will mark a turning point in the development of thermalism in Latin America. An event that invites us to rethink tourism through a regenerative, inclusive, and resilient lens. And a perfect opportunity for Paipa, Boyacá—and by extension, Colombia—to shine as a leading destination for wellness, health, and thermal experiences.
