- Ciater Hot Springs receives its hot water from the nearby active Tangkuban Perahu's Crater.
The springs come from Mount Tangkuban Perahu's active crater and are piped into the pools in the hot springs complex. Ciater Hot Spring Resort is of course the main attraction here and is located amid a large tea plantation. The dissolved minerals within the spring water are said to help cure rheumatism and skin problems, and, at the very least, the warm water is relaxing.
