Thermal baths

Thermal springs set in forest, with round wooden baths & natural pools, plus a cafe & picnic area.
Slide 1 of 8
Very natural area. Has natural pools plus a couple of woodden ones. A beautiful waterfall in the background makes you feel like you are in heaven. Personnel speaks English and very personable. Make sure you bring your own towels and maybe a robe.
Hot springs near Coñaripe at half the price of most others. The views from the pools are stunning, with a large waterfall in the backround nestled inside old growth native forest. There are only 3 pools and a couple of tubs fed by the hot springs, but it wasn't too busy so we didn't feel like this was a problem at this time of the season (i recommend visiting in the low season). The more "natural" Pools with a rocky bottom are full of vegetation on the edges, which gives the experience a very unique feel as the ferns and other plants reach into the pools and you can hide from the sun under them. Facilities were good with plenty of bathrooms and changing areas and lockers, everything was clean. Had a picnic area and designated smoking spot and plenty of parking space. Friendy staff.
Awesome outdoor themas, with a lovely waterfall and river. Great cafe too.
A little farther down the gravel road. Way less crowded and cheaper. My father and I loved it. Staff spoke English and was very kind and helpful. Fully recommend.
Fantabulous. Loved it.
(Translated by Google) A place with a dreamlike setting, truly beautiful, where you can enjoy and relax. These hot springs also have hot tubs and a privileged view. The prices are quite affordable compared to other hot springs. It has an excellent cafeteria, parking, a lane, and changing rooms. (It doesn't have showers like other hot springs, but there is one if you need one.) As for recommendations, it's best to bring a robe, as they don't have one on-site. You can bring food to eat in the picnic area. Highly recommended. (Original) Un lugar con un entorno soñado, realmente hermoso donde se logra disfrutar y descansar.

(No cuenta con duchas como otras termas Pero si existe una ducha en caso de requerirlo) En cuanto a recomendaciones lo ideal es llevar una bata debido a que no disponen en el lugar y se puede llevar alimentos para consumir en la zona de picnics Muy recomendado
(Translated by Google) The thermal baths are beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings, and all the baths seem to be the same temperature. The waterfall is magnificent, and the cafeteria offers excellent food. (Original) Termas très bien intégré dans la nature, les bains semble tous être à la même température.

Nature & Parks
Slide 1 of 8
We came here in 2017 and again in 2022, and we would return here if visiting Chile again. Well worth the steep hike with views of waterfalls and pools and wildflowers all the way. Some bouldering with assist from ladders and rails along the trail. Gorgeous, and the host is very welcoming. Only $2500 clp per person.
Beautiful waterfall, a bit challenging to go up, especially with kids. In the waterfalls, if in summer, you can even bathe a bit
(Translated by Google) The waterfall is beautiful, but the service is terrible... I don't know if they were having a bad day but at the reception with a bad face at all times and a bad way of responding, they also don't give you an introduction about the trail, the history or how to guide yourself. get there... The trail is not very well signposted compared to others in the sector... I went previously about 7 years ago and it is the same, it has no improvement (except for the attention that in those years it was a 7). At the viewpoint in the middle, the trees need to be pruned so that it can be seen as a viewpoint, otherwise it is just a rest stop. When you reach the waterfall, the wood is full of holes and unevenness that can facilitate an accident. Clean bathrooms, but no toilet paper. Nice place but not a pleasant experience. (Original) Linda la cascada, pero la atención es pésima... No sé si tenían un mal día pero en la recepción con mala cara en todo momento y mala forma de responder, tampoco te hacen una introducción sobre el sendero, la historia o como guiarse para llegar... El sendero no esta muy bien señalizado en comparación con otros del sector... Fui anteriormente como hace 7 años atrás y está igual, no tiene ninguna mejora (salvo la atención que en esos años fue un 7). En el mirador que está al medio falta una poda de árboles para que se pueda apreciar como mirador, de otra forma es solo una parada de descanso. Al llegar a la cascada la madera está llena de hoyos y desniveles que pueden facilitar un accidente. Baños limpios, pero sin papel higiénico. Lindo lugar pero no una experiencia agradable.
(Translated by Google) Our land is wonderful. We went up to the waterfall, it took us approximately 45 minutes. You must be in good physical condition, stairs with medium/high difficulty, many parts are just rocks. If you are going to go up, do it with the appropriate clothing. (Original) Maravillosa nuestra tierra. Subimos hasta la cascada, nos tomó 45 minutos aproximadamente. Debes estar en buena condición fisica, escaleras con dificultad media/alta, muchas partes solo es rocas. Si vas a subir, que sea con la ropa adecuada.
(Translated by Google) The place is very nice and the trekking experience is fantastic. Recommendations and points to consider: -Entry today (February, 2025) costs 3,000 pesos 💵, transfer can be made because the signal reaches well up to the top of the waterfall. -At the reception, one person per group registers and you must leave a contact in case of emergency📞. -The path to the waterfall is marked by white arrows ➡️ -There are three views of the waterfall, the first is a gentle walk with the only difficulty being that it is on a slope and on a dirt road, be careful with the terrain that can become loose. -The second is a little more difficult because you have to climb stairs made by hand with sticks, which are safe but are very inclined, some at 90°. -The third❗, is the end of the trekking that one reaches the foot of the waterfall, this path is quite difficult since you have to climb the stones and very steep slopes of unstable terrain, but there are still aids such as cables and ropes to facilitate the climb, this last portion is not recommended for older people or people with great difficulty in movement because you have to be quite agile. -Trekking shoes and poles are highly recommended and climbing with as little weight or bulk as possible. -The upload time if done without stopping is approximately 30min🕒. (Original) El lugar es muy lindo y la experiencia de trekking fantástica. Recomendaciones y puntos a considerar: -La entrada a día de hoy (febrero, 2025) cuesta 3.000 pesos 💵, puede hacerse transferencia pues la señal llega bien hasta arriba de la cascada. -En la recepción se inscribe una persona por grupo y hay que dejar un contacto en caso de emergencia📞. -El camino hacia la cascada está señalizado por flechas blancas ➡️ -Hay tres vistas a la cascada, la primera es una caminata suave con la única dificultad de que es en pendiente y camino de tierra, ojo con el terreno que puede soltarse. -La segunda, tiene un poco más de dificultad porque hay que subir por unas escaleras hechas a mano con palos, que son seguras pero están muy inclinadas, algunas en 90°. -La tercera❗, es el final del trekking que uno llega a las faldas de la cascada, este sendero tiene bastante dificultad puesto que hay que escalar por las piedras y pendientes muy fuertes de terreno inestable, pero sigue habiendo ayudas como cables y cuerdas para facilitar la subida, esta última porción no es recomendada para personas mayores o con mucha dificultad de movimiento pues hay que ser bastante ágil. -Los zapatos de trekking y bastones son muy recomendables y subir con el menos peso o bulto posible. -El tiempo de subida si se hace sin parar es de 30min🕒 aprox.
(Translated by Google) The waterfall is beautiful, it is advisable to go in the winter season, or days after a lot of rain, so it is super full and is incredible. (Original) Es preciosa la cascada, recomendable ir en temporada de invierno, o días después de mucha lluvia, así va súper llena y es increíble.
(Translated by Google) It's a place with an uphill hike of approximately 1 km, and it's easy to do with children. Upon reaching the waterfall, there's a wooden platform that allows you to admire the view. It's worth it. Bring water for the little ones. (Original) Es un lugar que tiene un trekking de 1 km aproximadamente en subida, con niños se puede hacer sin mayores problemas. Al llegar el salto de agua, hay una base de madera qué permite admirar el lugar. Vale la pena. Lleven agua para los más pequeños

One of the "Seven Lakes" in Panguipulli municipality, this lake was formed after glaciation.
Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) To this day it is the most beautiful lake I have seen in the south of Chile. Very clean, crystalline water. Large and beautiful beach, and easy to access. It is worth going, I will be delighted. (Original) Hasta el dia de hoy es el lago mas hermoso que conoci en el sur de chile. Agua muy limpia, cristalina. Playa grande y hermosa, y de facil acceso. Vale la pena ir, quede encantado.
(Translated by Google) There is nothing written about tastes, but it is my favorite. You can be on the sand while the kids play in the water as it is very shallow. The water is warm and if you walk a little, you run into fewer people. (Original) En gustos no hay nada escrito, pero es mi favorito. Puedes estar en la arena mientras los niños juegan en el agua, ya que es muy bajo. El agua tibia y si caminas un poco, te topas con menos gente.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful lake, perfect for swimming, the beauty of that place is a delight, I loved it! (Original) Hermoso lago, perfecto para nadar, la belleza de ese lugar es un deleite , me encantó!
(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach and very quiet, unfortunately on the date I went there were no campsites enabled. There is a barge that gives a beautiful ride while telling the history of the lake. The owner of the barge has a small island in the center of the lake that will soon be a campsite (the photos with a small wooden terrace are of the island) which has bathrooms and, as he tells me, in the future it will have a cafeteria. In case you want to schedule the camping and/or reserved boat ride, they told me that you should write to Instagram @puntapellaifa (Original) Hermosa playa y muy tranquila, lamentablemente la fecha en la que fui no había ningún camping habilitado. Hay una barcaza qué da un paseo hermoso mientras cuenta la historia del lago. El dueño de la barcaza tiene una pequeña islita en el centro del lago que prontamente será un camping (las fotos con una pequeña terraza de madera son de la islita) la cual tiene baños y según me comenta en un futuro tendrá una cafetería. En caso de que se quiera agendar el camping y/o paseo reservado en el bote me dijeron que se debe escribir al instagram @puntapellaifa
(Translated by Google) This is one of the southern lakes that I liked the most. The submerged forest gives it a special charm. In addition, its waters are very crystal clear and warm. The beach is clean and not deep for several meters from the shore, making it safe for children to take a bath. (Original) Este es uno de los lagos del sur que más me ha gustado. El bosque sumergido le da un encanto especial. Además, sus aguas son muy cristalinas y tibiecitas. La playa limpia y no es profunda en varios metros desde la orilla, lo que la hace segura para que los niños tomen un baño.
(Translated by Google) Very calm lake. Inside there is a flooded forest, you have to enter with water shoes to avoid stepping on the stones and roots of the trees. The water has a good temperature. It has several parking spots at the entrance. (Original) Lago muy tranquilo. Adentro tiene un bosque inundado, hay que entrar con zapatos de agua para no pisar las piedras y raíces de los árboles. El agua tiene buena temperatura. Tiene varios puntos de estacionamiento en la entrada.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful and best to visit on a weekday in autumn (Original) Hermoso y visitarlo día de semana en otoño mejor
(Translated by Google) The lake and its view are beautiful; it has something magical about it. The water is also warmer than in other nearby lakes. The beach is small and starts to get crowded early in the morning. To park, you have to leave your car on the side of a dirt and gravel road, or park at the campsites closest to the lake, which also have restrooms (for a fee). There's a kiosk on the beach that sells homemade lunches and fast food. (Original) Hermoso el lago y su vista, tiene algo mágico. Además, el agua es más temperada que en otros lagos vecinos. La playa es pequeña y se comienza a llenar de gente desde temprano. Para estacionar debes dejar el auto a la orilla de un camino de tierra y piedras, o estacionar en los camping que están más cercanos al lago, los cuales también cuentan con baños pagados. Hay un kiosco en la playa que vende almuerzos caseros y comida rápida.
