Something not right?

Description

As natural or untouched as termas can get I think. No swimming pools at different temperatures, no trash, no empanadas for sale.
But a 25C river with small pools and cascadas flowing in between of a magnificent landscape in all colors of the rainbow while 68C water is bubbling from Middle Earth along the sides. Outside 8Cmid day at this time of year.

No pics in the post and don't Google it. Just go. :)

The access road from the Peñón Fiambalá road is OK but turns into a proper 4x4 trail starting from the 4th sharp hairpins. Not worth the risk to damage your rig imo. We parked at the 4th and hiked the rest of the way. Ca 30-45min.

Latest Check-Ins

A truly special place to visit. Had it completely to ourselves. Grotto below the springs is an awesome 2 person tub. The road has had a bit of work done. Still need 4x4 low range, but we made it all the way to the Termas without any drama in a Toyota Tacoma. Top camp-spot in a year of travel.

Report Check-In

A really beautiful Thermal and very natural. One has to search for the best spot, because it's mainly a small stream running down the valley. There is a narrow part, where the river forms some small pools. It's very beautiful there and the temperature is good enough to take a bath. We wouldn't call it a hot spring though.
We parked the bikes a few hundred meters before the thermals, where you find some abandoned houses (ruins). The last part of the track was extremely steep and washed out. Impossible to ride it with our low hp bikes + all the luggage. Unfortunately, some idiots started littering there.
