Termas de Salto Grande

Termas de Salto Grande is a thermal resort in Salto City, Salto Department, Uruguay's second-largest city and the heart of the country's most productive thermal spa region, situated on the Uruguay River adjacent to the Salto Grande hydroelectric dam — a massive binational engineering project shared between Uruguay and Argentina. The bicarbonate thermal waters here are complemented by the city's position as a major citrus and wine-producing region, with Salto's tangerine and orange groves providing one of Uruguay's most productive agricultural landscapes alongside the thermal parks that serve the city's residents and domestic tourists. These termas represent the urban dimension of Uruguayan thermal culture, where the naturally heated Guaraní Aquifer waters provide recreational and therapeutic bathing at the heart of a provincial capital city proud of its natural resources and its role in the River Plate thermal tradition.
