The Ba�os de Coamo located in the municipality of Coamo, are Puerto Rico's only thermal springs.
Used by the Tainos in the pre-Columbian era, the Ba�os were believed by many to have healing powers. The Ba�os became a popular tourist attraction among the early Spanish settlers which prompted the construction of a resort by local entrepreneurs. Coamo was the site of an important battle during the Puerto Rico Campaign of the Spanish-American War and were subject to artillery bombardments which damaged the resort. The historic Ba�os and resort were restored during the 20th century by the Government of Puerto Rico, becoming once more a popular tourist attraction
