We texted them in Whatsapp but they said it was closed because the thermals were dried up.

15k pp. Only 2 of the small pools were hot due to low water levels. It’s really lovely in the forest in the shade. We booked a few days ahead of time. Your experience kind of depends on the other people around you (and their children…). All 4 pools are right next to each other, not private. Showers are solar heated and hot. Clean washrooms. Overall worth it if you camp too I’d say.

Corrected the location of the hotsprings to the entrance. From here you still have to drive 3km on a gravel road.
For big rigs the road is quite iffy, as there are a lot of low hanging trees.
Price of hotsprings is now 15.000 per person.

The most is already said in the comments before.
Everything is very well maintained, super nice stuff.
The 3 km access road is also good maintained and doable for all kind of vehicles also for big rigs (we are 3,4 m high!).
For us the best termas in Chile so far for a good price.
And the best: no or very very less sulfur smell!

Beautiful hot springs. They have 4 pools. You have to book in advance via WhatsApp (Same day possible). Payment in cash (Pesos/ USD) or via bank transfer. The usage is limited to 3 hours, you have to choose in advance 9-12 am, 1-4 pm, 5-8 pm. There are sunbeds, changing rooms and showers. They don't allow you to camp onsite but there's an unofficial campsite close to the main gate, that they recommend (see iOverlander tag).

The termas are beautiful, a bit djungle feeling. Very worthy and a lot cheaper than the ones in Puyuhuapi.

Contact by WhatsApp before you arrive! +56 9 9454 2711.
Currently the spring is dry and the pools are empty. Unknown when this will change. See photo I received. But please check with them directly.

Beautiful soak. Springs are hot. We had the place all to ourselves for 2 ours, and then another family came. Very quiet. Road out there is gravel and fine. No problem for friend la and their small Mitsubishi minivan.

+56 9 9454 2711 is the WhatsApp number to contact. Really lovely place. You book it in three hour slots, 12000 clp pp. The facilities are very basic but clean and convenient.

One of the best hot pools we went to in Latin America. Great ambience and you can adjust the temperature of your pool. 12000pp and worth it! You do need to WhatsApp to reserve your slot.

The last 3km is a bumpy road to the property, but any vehicle can do it.

Very nice place for having a thermal bath! the owner is very nice!
You need to make a reservation via whats app in advance. is absolutely worth the money!

Nice and well looked after termals. We text in the morning for an afternoon reservation and they responded quickly that we could come. I'll attempt to attach the document they sent with the latest info. Nice warm shower after a soak in the hot tubs and cool tub. Highly recommend. 12000 pp

Reservation is a must, this is not a COVID matter. You have to reserve a slot if you want to be sure to take a bath. The gates can be closed but that is to keep the catle in.
There is no camping here, no tents and no campers, but there is a nice wild camping spot across the road, see other entries.

It is not closed! Very nice termas. Well maintained with wooden platforms around the baths. They work in groups and you have to make a reservation ahead. Number below is correct but use WhatsApp, they didn't answer our call. Time spots are 10.30-14.00 and 15.00-18.00. 10,000 clp pp. If you ask, you can pay in cash at the termas. They started the reservations due to covid, but I hope they keep it. Very nice to have a bath for the two of you and the road there is quite narrow so we were happy not to meet traffic in the opposite direction going up and coming down. They don't have a camping anymore, but they direct you to the informal campground that's marked on iO. We were happy to be able to take a shower at the termas though (bit cold, but if you do it during your visit you can get warm in the thermal bath after your shower)

The gate was locked when we arrived. One of the neighbors told us the termas are out of water. Not sure if it's permanent. Better call ahead since there's no cellphone service.

We arrived at 6PM, paid 10.000clp each, slept in the car and had the use of toilets, solar-heated showers and the thermal baths all night until 11am. However, no one really pays attention when you leave so you could, like us, stay longer. It gets busy on weekends but few people stay overnight. There is a nice, large, grassy area for tents and footballs for kids.

Nice termas, not so turisty and expensive like others. 6000p per adult, 5000p per minor under 12. The warm and cold pool are really nice. For kids it‘s a bit boring, but hey, what to expect. With 36-40° it‘s really hot and after an hour we left. We thought it was worth going.

Incredible. Natural setting. 3 private baths (7,000 per person), 1 large natural hot pool (6,000 per person), 2 rivers of cold water. Amazing time. 10,000 per person to stay over night (the thermal road is locked at 8pm but if you paid for camping you can go in the thermals all night and the next morning until 11:30). Even if you arrive at 7:30 pm it is worth to camp and have access- you will have the whole place to yourself or maybe 2-3 other people. So relaxing.

Place is open again. Had an amazing time. Very nice owner, place, pool, everything ...

March 17th, 2019 by hallomuck

The Termas are open now. In summer time (january, february) they don’t have a lot of water from the natural source. At this time the Termas could be closed sometimes. But if there was a lot of rain, they have enough water in their natural pool. You have to call the owner to know if it’s open or not.
It‘s a small but really nice pool in the middle of the forrest. We enjoyed it.

Very quiet and very nicely designed. CLP 7000 for baths and CLP 12000 for tent site. We did camper van + baths CLP 20000, and worth it. Once in (21:00) you can use baths under stars AND in morning. Very good place.

Well worth the visit, specially after cycling some days. There is only a bus leaving at 15h from la Junta. However not every day.

Beautiful thermal springs at the campsite. Hot and cold baths, change rooms at the springs. 6000/person and well worth it!
