Small paradise in the middle of the desert
Great attraction. Pity the visitors can’t keep their kids quiet.
One of the popular thermals en pica. This place has evolved over time. Now they have lockers, changing rooms and showers. Place to sit. At the entrance it has some spots to take pictures. The water is warm and the mud around is used for teraputic purposes.
This natural hot springs will unwind you so good, you may not be able to drive back... the place is managed by the city hall, it charges you 3.000 CLP, about 4,5 USD. it has everything you need. Bathrooms, lockers, shower, nothing fancy, but clean and functional. The level of the water is between 1,0 to 5,0 meters, depending the day of the week (every two Mondays it reaches 5,0) better if you avoid weekends and holidays when is crowded
Mondays and tuesdays level of water is raised. On these days the pool is limit dangerous due to submerged instalations. We were also (the first time) when water level was lower and it was excellent. Wednesday closed until 15h30 for cleaning.
Overcrowded but it might be nice if there is a small crowd. The water isn't warm. It's semi-thermal so don't get your hopes up.
It's a dirty pool in the middle of nowhere that is overcrowded and lacks the facilities for this to be a relaxing place. Calling it an oasis is simply false advertising.
Natural water good place for relax in the middle of Atacama Desert

(Translated by Google) Excellent place, it is well maintained, they recently painted the dinosaurs, good parking, and places to serve ice cream. Congratulations to this small commune so far from the urban center of TARAPACÁ But it has managed to grow and be as beautiful as this... (Original) Excelente lugar, está bien cuidado, pintaron hace poco los dinosaurios, buenos estacionamientos, y lugares para servirse un helado. Felicitaciones a esta pequeña comuna tan alejada del núcleo urbano de TARAPACÁ Pero que ha sabido crecer y ser tan bonita como esta...
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to stop and see the different types of dinosaurs. Very well preserved, everything clean. There are wooden Flintstones-style cars to take pictures with... everything is very entertaining, and the word PICA is in big, colorful letters... I recommend it 100%. Oh, and there's a store where you can buy ice cream and souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) It is small but cute, it is well maintained and they are very friendly. It is a stop along the way for some photos and to eat some artisanal ice cream. If you have doubts about how to get somewhere, they will guide you and are very attentive, there you can bring a magnet as a souvenir. (Original) Es pequeño pero lindo, esta bien cuidada y son muy amables es una parada en el camino para unas fotitos y comerse un helado artesanal. Si tienes duda de como llegar a algún lugar allí te orientan son muy atentos, allí puedes llevar un imán de recuerdito.
(Translated by Google) The place is small but nice. There is not much shade so I recommend going at a time where the sun is not too strong. (Original) El lugar es pequeño pero bonito. No hay mucha sombre por lo que recomiendo ir en un horario donde el sol no pegue muy fuerte.
