Termas Curarrehue, in the Araucanía region of Chile, offers sulfurous water heated to around 42°C. Indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna and massages make up the experience in this Andean area near the Argentine border.
Insider tip — Termas Curarrehue is nestled in the volcanic Andes near the Argentine border at around 39°S, in an area dominated by active volcanoes including Lanin. The sulfurous waters emerge from geothermal fractures in the Andean cordillera at temperatures up to 42°C. Surrounded by dense Araucaria and coigue forests, the setting feels primeval and remote. Access via the winding road from Pucon adds to the sense of discovery, and the site is traditionally connected to Mapuche cultural heritage.
