Termas de San José

Termas de San José in the Entre Ríos Province of Argentina, part of the remarkable Guaraní Aquifer thermal circuit connecting thirteen Entre Ríos cities, draws from bicarbonate-rich thermal waters in a provincial setting characterised by the gentle hill country and subtropical river landscapes typical of the Argentine Mesopotamia between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers. The spring water feeds comfortable resort facilities in a community whose thermal tourism has been carefully developed to complement the province's agricultural and cultural heritage, including the extraordinary Urquiza Palace at San José, the palatial residence of General Justo José de Urquiza whose 1851 victory at the Battle of Caseros ended the Rosas dictatorship and led to the creation of the Argentine Confederation, preserved as one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance residential architecture in the Americas. The combination of Guaraní Aquifer thermal water, the magnificent historical heritage of the Urquiza palace, and the subtropical Entre Ríos landscapes create a thermal destination of considerable cultural and natural depth within Argentina's most comprehensively developed provincial thermal circuit.
