The Inca Baths, also known as Inca thermal baths, were ancient bathing facilities used by the Inca civilization in the Andes region of South America. These baths were often constructed near natural hot springs and featured stone structures designed for relaxation and hygiene. The Incas believed in the therapeutic properties of hot water, which was used for both physical and spiritual cleansing. Many of these baths were located in sacred areas, reflecting the Incas' deep connection to nature and their religious beliefs. The most famous example is found at Machu Picchu, where visitors can see the remnants of these baths, showcasing the advanced engineering skills of the Incas.
