Tucked into Chilean Patagonia in the commune of Cochamó (Los Lagos region), Termas del Sol draws its water from a volcanic source linked to the Yates volcano, which emerges naturally at around 60°C before being distributed across ten pools where temperatures settle between 36°C and 45°C. The complex unfolds along 650 metres of wooden walkways through dense forest, four kilometres from the village of Río Puelo.

The water is 100% natural, drawn from underground aquifers, with no chemical treatment or added cold water, preserving its original composition. The site also offers an eight-station wellness circuit (reflexology, exfoliation, steam, mud, hot-cold contrast, herbs, quartz) and a café-restaurant, set amid an unspoiled landscape of lakes and mountains.

Insider tip — Termas del Sol sits in the Chilean Lake District, where volcanic activity beneath the Andes feeds sulfurous pools set within temperate rainforest. The surrounding landscape of glacial lakes and araucaria trees is spectacular in autumn when the forest turns copper and gold. The waters carry sulfur compounds traditionally used for skin and respiratory conditions. Access via unpaved forest roads rewards visitors with near-total solitude.
