T or C as the locals call it, was formerly named Ojo Caliente de Las Palomas or Hot Springs of the Doves. It was a Place of Peace where everyone came and laid their differences aside to cleanse themselves in the sacred waters. Today, it remains an eclectic town where artists, healers and cowboys merge over the hot springs basin. Our sanctuary is superbly located on this basin in the historic bathhouse district and nestled near the Rio Grande River. Walk to restaurants, shops, galleries, grocery stores, hot springs bath houses and one of two parks along the Rio Grande River.
