About this experience
The Huilo Huilo Hot Springs are a hidden thermal treasure, not yet marked on conventional maps, which allows us to enjoy a practically private environment when visiting them. They offer thermal pools with temperatures ranging between 37º and 40º C, in addition to having cold water pools, thermal mud and being bordered by the picturesque Rañintulelfu river. These hot springs, inaugurated in 2019 and reopened after the pandemic, have facilities in excellent condition, standing out for offering an experience free of the crowds typical of the most popular hot springs. Here, there is no overcrowding in the pools or long lines to access the locker rooms.
