Quebrada Termal lies in Jujuy Province, in Argentina's northwest. Its bicarbonate thermal water reaches around 37°C and can be enjoyed in an open-air pool, set amid the Andean quebradas favored for wild bathing.
Insider tip — Nestled in the dramatic Quebrada gorge of northwest Argentina, this thermal stream cuts through layers of polychrome rock striped in ochre, red, and purple. The Andean altitude keeps the air cool while the bicarbonate-rich waters warm visitors year-round. The site sits within the Quebrada de Humahuaca UNESCO World Heritage corridor, making it a culturally rich stop between Jujuy and Tilcara. Arrive early to secure a spot before the afternoon wind funnels through the canyon.
