Excursion to the Puritama Hot Springs｜Chile

We'll pick you up from the center of San Pedro de Atacama at the time you've chosen and head south. After about half an hour of driving, you'll reach a canyon crossed by a river of hot water.

The Puritama hot springs are the seven pools of water found along this river, at the bottom of the canyon at the foot of the Andes. Once we enter the facilities, you'll have three hours of free time to enjoy the Puritama hot springs.

Puritama's hot waters reach 33.5 degrees Celsius and are rich in minerals like magnesium, sodium, lithium, and potassium. The Atacameño people have used these hot springs since before the Spanish conquest, and they've traditionally been recommended to treat rheumatism, arthritis, and muscle fatigue.

The place is equipped with wooden walkways that connect the eight natural pools and facilities such as bathrooms and picnic areas, so you can relax and enjoy the soothing properties of the Puritama hot springs.

With your batteries recharged and feeling rested, we'll head back to the little square in the center of San Pedro de Atacama four and a half hours after departure.
