Termas de Pismanta San Juan

Termas de Pismanta San Juan are high-altitude thermal springs in the Iglesia department of San Juan Province, Argentina, situated at approximately 2,200 meters elevation in the pre-Andean quebrada landscape of the Atacama desert transition zone, close to the Chilean border and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of San Guillermo. The calcium-bicarbonate thermal waters emerge at around 40°C from Andean geological formations and are valued within a long thermal tradition, associated with relaxation and skin comfort, enhanced by the exceptionally dry and sunny high-altitude desert climate. Named after the legendary Huarpe indigenous chief Pismanta, these springs combine striking Andean scenery — stark desert mountains, vineyards, and Andean condors — with centuries of indigenous thermal bathing tradition.
