Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Aguas Termales Chalviri is a naturally sulphurous thermal spring complex in the remote high-altitude landscape of the South American altiplano, where geothermal activity beneath the Andean volcanic arc brings hot, mineral-rich water to the surface in a treeless, wind-swept puna landscape of extraordinary stark beauty. The springs at Chalviri are frequently visited by travellers on the famous Laguna Route across the Bolivian and Chilean altiplano, offering a welcome immersion in warm, sulphurous water after days of travel through some of the most extreme high-altitude scenery in the world. The naturally heated pools contrast dramatically with the cold, arid landscape that surrounds them.
