The 15 Best Hot Springs in Chile

Cajon del Maipo : El Yeso & Spa Reservoir River Sanctuary - The long approach through Cajón del Maipo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,121 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $207Our pick

Review of Cajón del Maipo, El Yeso Reservoir, and mountain spa near Santiago, with honest advice on price, transport, food, pools, and timing.

“We did over 10 day tours scross Chile, Peru, Costa Rica and this was the worst The only reason i gave it 3 stars was everything in the description was covered and they did not trick us But, effectively they take you to a run down motel/hotel up in the mountains with a couple of heated jacuzzis and 20 people tried cramming into it My wife n I stayed out and only our daughter got it Definitely not worth the long drive to a couple of hot tubs in my opinion The food was good and transportation was good”

2.Cajón del Maipo, Hot Springs, Waterfall & Chilean BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 357 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $210

Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo tour with hot springs, waterfall, Andes scenery, Chilean BBQ, wine, and stargazing.

“The first thing to know is it is a *lot* of time in the vehicle. Because of the timing, you spend at least an hour in the car fighting through Santiago traffic. Then it’s about an hour to the chocolate house and another hour to the hot springs. Most of it is smooth roads and only the last 20 minutes to the hot springs and coming back are bumpy. Once you leave Santiago, it’s a great trip. The views are incredible for the remainder of the drive and the hot springs are really fun and scenic as well. The barbecue is great too. Really tasty food and a cool scene…”

3.Cajon del Maipo, Termas Colinas & Embalse El Yeso

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 266 reviews · 10h 30m · from $79

Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo day trip with Termas Colinas hot springs, El Yeso reservoir, mountain scenery, picnic, and practical tips.

“This was a good trip, allowing us 1.5 hours at the hot springs which was great and allowed us enough time to take in the scenery kf the El Yeso reservoir. The picnic was also lovely although served at the start in the morning, at El Yeso, so not really a lunch. One thing to note is that our trip was 14 hours in total as there were additional stops to a restaurant and a chocolate shop/ice cream (cost not included) which consumed about 2 hours and I don’t personally think was necessary. So if you need to be back for 3-4pm, definitely check this as we got back at…”

Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo and Termas Colina day trip, with seven hot pools, mountain scenery, guide tips, costs, and drawbacks.

“The guide Max was excellent and managed to lead the tour in three languages so that everyone understood. We started the day with a breakfast stop of 30 minutes where we got coffee and empanadas and pet the local dogs. We spent 2 hours in the relaxing Termas. They’re even prettier in real life than in the pictures. We ended the day with a lovely little picnic near the breakfast spot.”

“This trip was an absolute highlight of our short stay in Santiago de Chile. It was very fortunate to start the tour in the afternoon. The car was in excellent condition, even the bumpy roads were comfortable with it. Our guide Axel was very knowledgeable, polite, helpful in every sense. The natural spa was very relaxing, the circumstances were absolutely acceptable, even I am maniac of cleanliness. This is a natural spa, not a city bath! And still, bathrobes were provided. All located in a beautiful environment, and we had gorgeous sunset. The evening with local delicacies, and especially with the super nice group was simply perfect. I can highly…”

Review of Cajon del Maipo and El Morado Lodge and Spa, with Andean views, lunch, wine, pools, transport, value, and booking tips.

“Only it wasn't worse because the Mauritius Driver Guide is EXCELLENT. And because we visited Embalse el Yeso. Why do I say it was bad? Because they put me on a different ride than I bought. I bought Andean Experience with el morado and Lodge SPA with lunch INCLUSO. And it wasn't that script. Enterprise Turistik put me in another scenario without EL MORADO, NO LODGE SPA AND NO LUNCH. I was very disappointed because it was very different from what I hired.Auto-translated”

Review of Santiago’s Cajon del Maipo hot springs tour, with six thermal pools, Andean views, transfers, timing, value, and practical tips.

“1. While booking, it says english guide. But it turned out to be all spanish..the co travellers and the guide (speaks broken little english often taking help of intetnet translations). 2. The guide admits the tour is his first trip as well. Hence seems helpless. 3. The driver is more active virtually taking over control. He is excitedly speaking throughout, sometime even getting his both hands off the steering... 4. The tour wad supposedly to start at 6.30. I was sent a text at 10 pm earlier night that the pick up will be at 5 am. I missed thay and when they arrive in the morning and threatened to…”

Trek through araucaria forest to Villarrica’s south face, then soak in 20 pools at Geometric Hot Springs near Pucón.

“The site on a private land is very beautiful. The hike can be a bit sporty with thick snow and an ascending grade from the beginning, but is very worthwhile. Due to the weather the view of the volcanos from the top was obstructed. But the forest with the snow and nature sound was so beautiful that it didn’t matter. On a clearer day with the view the hike must be even more fantastic for sure. Blas, the guide and owner of the agency, is very professional and highly experienced in mountain hiking and trekking. He provided good technical advices and made the hike very pleasant and fun. The geométrical…”

Review of Santiago’s Cajón del Maipo day trip with Yeso Reservoir, hot springs, chocolate tasting, picnic, transport, and practical tips.

“Francisca was an excellent guide and entertainer, and Andres a great driver. Our only concern was not being told well in advance what we may need to bring, or that the schedule could be disrupted, like they’re being no time for lunch. Bring extra warm clothing, extra food, extra water, and a towel.”

A few photo op stops along the way as well. Really nice day trip.”
