Insider tip — Located near the salt lagoon of Cahuil on Chile's central coast, this spot offers private clay tub bathing in a tradition rooted in indigenous Mapuche healing practices. The name Pachamama invokes the Andean earth goddess, reflecting the spiritual dimension of the bathing ritual. The nearby Cahuil lagoon is a flamingo sanctuary, and the juxtaposition of pink birds against white salt flats creates a memorable backdrop. Arrive at sunset when the estuary glows golden and book tinaja sessions in advance as they fill quickly on weekends.
