Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Copahue Volcan Thermes, a unique thermal spring located in Patagonia, Argentina. The volcano's sulfur-rich waters are a result of its active status at 2,965m above sea level. As you relax amidst the stunning surroundings, take note of the nearby Chilean border. Experience this natural oasis within a long thermal tradition.
Insider tip — Copahue sits at 2,000 meters on the Argentina-Chile border within the active Copahue volcano caldera, making it one of the most dramatically volcanic thermal destinations in South America. Fumaroles hiss across the crater landscape and the lagoon waters are naturally acidic with high sulfur content, turning them a striking yellow-green. The thermal complex operates seasonally from December to April only due to heavy Patagonian snowfall, and the road access through Caviahue is itself a high-altitude Andean adventure.
