Warm water emerges from the riverbank and collects in natural rock pools where it mixes with the glacially-fed river. The turquoise Baker River against the surrounding forests and peaks creates an unforgettable backdrop for a thermal soak.

Temperatura: 32-38°C
Custo de Entrada: Free
Como Chegar: Along the Baker River, about 20 km south of Cochrane on the Carretera Austral. A rough trail leads from the road to the riverside pools. About 30 minutes by car plus a 20-minute walk.
Melhor epoca: December to March

Termas del Valle Chacabuco

Selvagem

Hidden in the vast grasslands and forests of Patagonia National Park, these wild springs are known mainly to park staff and experienced trekkers. The thermal pools are modest but the setting in one of the world's great conservation projects, where pumas, huemul deer, and guanacos roam freely, is extraordinary.

Custo de Entrada: Free (park donation requested)
Como Chegar: Within Patagonia National Park (formerly Estancia Valle Chacabuco), accessed from Cochrane via a gravel road. The springs require a hike of approximately 2 hours from the nearest vehicle access point.
Melhor epoca: January to March
none; park campgrounds available in the area

Termas de los Ñadis

Natural

A set of warm pools in a boggy meadow area (ñadis) near the road. The springs are modest in temperature but the ease of access from the Carretera Austral makes them a convenient stop for road-trippers. The surrounding landscape of lenga forest and mountain views is classic Aysén scenery.

Temperatura: 33-39°C
Custo de Entrada: Free
Como Chegar: About 35 km north of Cochrane on the Carretera Austral, then a gravel side road and short trail. High-clearance vehicle recommended.
