Hot Springs parking | Informal Campsite

April 28th, 2024 by modestacoustics83

Stayed here 1 night. 15,000pp for 24hours entry. Very windy but there are some spots against the hill on the left before you get to the top parking lot that were more sheltered for us. A few other campers and van people staying as well. Beautiful sunset & even got some snow in the morning!

There are several options for camping here. They also have many trash cans, potable water, sinks (sort of), bathrooms (sort of) and concrete pillars for tables or fire break. The main parking area is mostly flat, dusty and filled up fast on a Friday night. There is a secondary parking level, closer to the pools. It is smaller, but nearly empty when we arrived. We parked there overnight. On Saturday morning it filled up around us. Plan accordingly. There are also option to park further up the road (there is a hiking trail there) or across the river (there was a private group there). When we left because of the crowds, we just went down the valley a bit. About a mile past the empanada place we drove off the main road and down to the riverbank. From there we watched cars and vans roll in all day!
Please use the provided bathrooms or bring your own toilet. Do not poop among the bushes and rocks! Take your poop and gather your trash!

(Note- our dogs were fine at the campsite and on hiking trails, but not allowed near the pools)

Lesson learned - do not go there on a weekend.

Very beautiful place, with prices as described below. We first payed for 4 hours but then extended it for the whole day, so we could spend the night and walk around the next day. We suggest to use this place during the week or check when there are no tours. The first day we were ther the pools were nice, but on the 2.1. in the morning there were too much people - at least 5 tourist vans arrived and the pools were packed.

Really nice place, totally worth it. We went on the 24th of December and pools were not too crowded. They now charge 8.000 CLP for 4 hours between 8 AM and 6 PM or 12.000 CLP for whole day/24 hours including camping. Children from 4 to 12 are 4.000 CLP. Cash only.

we spent the night in the hot springs. its a bit difficult to get here but we made it slowly. the price is 12 thousand pesos to spend the night and it was worth it.

We spend a day and night here. You can drive up to above the hotsprings and we camped there as we thought it was more sheltered from the wind. The hotsprings are great. All other information still the same.

Extremely bumpy to get into. There is one location where they sell empanadas and drinks on the way up but other than that come prepared. Cost per person is $8000. The campsite is huge, plenty of space to choose from. Mind you there are a crap load of nails sprinkled all over so beware. It’s quite windy all day until the sunsets. There are two bathrooms. A coed makeshift one made out of an old shipping container with four stalls and sinks. When you go up to the hot springs there are plenty of pools with different temps to select from. The upper bathrooms are cleaner with sinks and stalls and showers. Beautiful views and for us I enjoyed it.

The pool temperature varies between 28 and 50 °C and the water is salty. In winter time the showers are not working. Entry of 8000Clp/pp is good for 24h, so you can spend the night here. They have bbq there as well.

Very dusty and windy. Some garbage scattered around. Toilets and showers available at the hot springs. hot pools in a natural setting.

Un hermoso lugar para conocer. Tranquilo con piscinas naturales de aguas termales.

Not a bad spot, road can be pretty difficult for some cars ie my two wheel drive van. Good access to the hot springs and the walks nearby. Flat area good for most vehicles. No idea where the toilets were, but good for a night

Large parking area at 2500m of altitude, at the end of the track, right below the hot springs (which cost EUR 13), quiet, free, cold nights even in summer. A few hiking trails start here.
