Hot Springs: Pucón

Termas Geométricas is a stunning architectural complex featuring 17 slate-lined pools connected by geometric red wooden walkways winding through a narrow ravine of native forest. Designed by architect Germán del Sol, it is widely considered one of the most beautiful hot spring complexes in the world. Steam rises from the pools as the Tabón River flows below, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

Termas de Huife is a well-established thermal resort offering three large outdoor pools at varying temperatures, plus private tubs and a full spa with massage services. Surrounded by lush native forest along the Liucura River valley, it combines thermal bathing with resort-level comfort. The complex includes accommodation for overnight stays.

Los Pozones offers the most authentic and rustic hot spring experience near Pucón. A series of natural rock pools of varying temperatures sit along the banks of the Liucura River, allowing bathers to alternate between hot thermal water and cold river water. Lit by candles at night, the atmosphere is magical and bohemian. This is the favorite spot for backpackers and those seeking a natural, unpretentious soak.

Termas Menetúe features beautifully designed stone pools set in a forested hillside overlooking a river valley. The complex strikes a balance between natural beauty and comfortable infrastructure. Multiple pools at different temperatures cascade down the slope, and the setting feels intimate despite being a managed facility.

A lesser-known gem near the Argentine border, Termas de Quimeyco offers a quieter alternative to the more popular springs. The thermal pools are set in a peaceful valley surrounded by araucaria forests, offering warm mineral-rich water in a tranquil setting with fewer crowds.
