Balneario Turístico Poopó is a thermal spring tourism complex in the high Andean plateau of South America near the Poopó Lake basin, where naturally warm sulphurous geothermal water emerges in the stark and spectacular landscape of the Bolivian-Chilean altiplano at elevations exceeding 3,500 metres above sea level. Thermal springs at high altitude are among the most dramatic thermal bathing experiences in the world, combining the intense geothermal warmth of the water with the cold, thin air and the immense open sky of the Andean puna. The facility offers visitors a memorable encounter with geothermal energy in one of South America's most extraordinary and remote landscapes.
