Huilo Huilo is a celebrated private natural reserve in the Los Ríos region of southern Chile, encompassing a spectacular volcanic and forest landscape where geothermal springs, powerful waterfalls, and ancient temperate rainforest create one of South America's most extraordinary private conservation and ecotourism destinations. The geothermal springs within the Huilo Huilo reserve allow visitors to soak in naturally warm, mineralised water surrounded by the dense native forest, with the sound of waterfalls and the calls of endemic bird species completing an immersive natural experience. The reserve's award-winning ecolodges and conservation programmes have made Huilo Huilo a global model of sustainable ecotourism.

Insider tip — Huilo Huilo thermal springs are embedded within the celebrated Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve, a 100,000-hectare private nature reserve in Los Rios Region famous for its Valdivian temperate rainforest and endemic pudu deer. The geothermal waters feed pools and spa facilities that blend artfully into the forest, using native timber and stone construction. The reserve's conservation ethos makes this one of Chile's most ecologically responsible thermal experiences.
