Terma "Los Tamarindos"

Terma Los Tamarindos — 'The Tamarind Trees Hot Springs' — is a naturally sulphurous thermal spring in Chile named after the tamarind trees that shade its banks, their distinctive silhouettes and tart fruit forming a characteristic part of the landscape that visitors encounter on arrival at the spring. The association of thermal springs with particular tree species is a recurring feature of the Latin American hot spring naming tradition, where the natural surroundings of the spring contribute as much to its identity as the mineral quality of the water itself. The sulphurous spring waters offer the characteristic Andean thermal bathing experience in a naturally shaded and atmospherically lush setting.
