Termas de Aguas Calientes Chiloe are natural hot springs in the Quemchi commune on Chiloé Island, Los Lagos Region, Chile, one of South America's most culturally distinctive islands renowned for its wooden palafito stilt houses, UNESCO-listed Jesuit churches, unique mythology featuring forest spirits, and exceptional seafood cuisine. The calcium-rich geothermal waters here emerge from volcanic activity beneath the Chiloé Archipelago, offering warm mineral pools in a misty, rainforest setting that captures the mystical atmosphere of Chiloé's landscape. Providing welcome warmth in the damp and cool island climate, these thermal springs represent a rare geothermal feature on Chiloé that combines the comforting warmth of volcanic waters with the island's extraordinary cultural and natural heritage.

Insider tip — Termas de Aguas Calientes on the Chiloé mainland fjords emerge at a vigorous 44°C from fractures in the Patagonian Andes, channelled into rustic outdoor pools carved from local timber. The site sits within the Palena province's temperate rainforest where alerce trees thousands of years old grow alongside the thermal streams. Chiloé's unique blend of wooden churches, stilt houses on the sea, and misty Andean thermal valleys is unlike anywhere else in South America.
