Baños Morales is a natural thermal spring site in the Cajón del Maipo, a narrow Andean canyon southeast of Santiago in Chile's Región Metropolitana, located approximately 87 km from the capital at the confluence of the Morales and Volcán rivers where geothermally heated waters emerge from the volcanic and metamorphic geology of the high Andes at elevations that place the springs near the treeline of the cordillera. The Cajón del Maipo is one of Santiago's most accessible Andean wilderness corridors, offering trekking, climbing, and thermal bathing within a few hours of the capital in a landscape of jagged peaks, glaciers, and rushing clear rivers. Baños Morales has served Andean travelers and Santiago day-trippers for generations as a natural hot spring destination in the raw volcanic scenery of the high Andes.

Insider tip — Baños Morales is a small thermal village at 2,400 m altitude in the Cajón del Maipo (Santiago Metropolitan Region), a 3-hour drive from the capital. The geothermal sulfurous springs gush in a spectacular Andean cirque, at the foot of the San José Volcano. The place remains wild and unspoiled — rustic camping is possible, for hikers wishing to combine thermalism with high-altitude trekking.
