In the Andean foothills near Curacautín, in the Araucanía region, Termas de Manquecura combines indoor and outdoor pools for a year-round soak regardless of the season. The water, drawn from underground volcanic springs, emerges at a temperature reported between 38 and 42°C depending on the source, set against a backdrop of forests, mountains and lakes typical of this Andean landscape.

Built as a family-friendly stop on the road toward Lonquimay, the site favours modern infrastructure over old-world charm: a restaurant, cabañas and straightforward booking make it a practical base for exploring Andean Araucanía in comfort.

Insider tip — Termas de Manquecura lies in the Andean foothills of the Araucania Region, fed by volcanic springs draining the slopes near the Lonquimay massif. The surrounding araucaria pine forest—home to some of the oldest trees in South America—gives the experience a prehistoric grandeur. The pools vary in temperature depending on proximity to the main vent, letting bathers self-regulate their soak.
