San Pedro de Atacama: Half-Day Tour to Puritama Hot Springs｜Chile

We will pick you up at the meeting point in San Pedro de Atacama at the agreed time and head south. After approximately half an hour's drive, we will arrive at a canyon crossed by a hot river. The Puritama Hot Springs are the seven pools of water found along the course of this river, at the bottom of the canyon at the foot of the Andes. Once we enter the facilities, you will have three free hours to enjoy the Puritama hot springs. The hot waters of Puritama reach 33.5 degrees Celsius and are rich in minerals such as magnesium, sodium, lithium and potassium. The Atacameños have used these hot springs since before the Spanish conquest, and they have 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 relaxing properties of the Puritama hot springs. With our batteries recharged and rested, we will begin the return trip and will be back in the small square in the center of San Pedro de Atacama four and a half hours after departure.
