Termas Quebrada de Hualfin | Established Campground

January 29th, 2024 by tomchinsky117

como dice el comentario anterior, sale $1000 la carpa o $2000 el motorhome. como camping es muy lindo con parcelas con parrillas, sillas y mesas. solo algunas canillas tienen agua (no en las parcelas) y solo encontramos dos enchufes.
como lugar para acampar nos gusto mucho! a la noche no queda nadie.

las termas son individuales o de a dos y salen1000$ por persona. no las usamos. son en un espacio cerrado y chiquito. afuera hay una pileta pequeña. salvo temprano a la mañana suele usarla mucha gente.

nous y sommes passés, mais pas resté ! maintenant c'est 2000$ pour un motorhome et 1000$ par personne si vous voulez Profitez de l'unique bain pour 1 personne d'eau chaude dans un petit local fermé ! la piscine est vide... il n'y a qu'une prise électrique en haut du mur des salles de thermes (il y a 3 salles mais une seule est ouverte)
à part cela le paysage est magnifique

we arrived by the end of the day almost at night. we paid 200 pesos per person although the person gave us only one ticket instead of three. The person also charged us 200 pesos for the car, although I think that should not have arrived. place is a bit strange, I wouldn't recommend for families despite the fact some village children come take a bath in the pool. there is a river crossing to arrive there that depending on the rain in the mountains may affect your plans. for us it was okay.

This place is very cheap (200pp) but still in my opinion not worth it if you want to relax, maybe worth it just to bathe. There is only baths for two people in winter, not the pools, and water is not hot. We've been to lots of thermal pools, the water here is definitely not 36C, maybe 32, but it cools down to lukewarm very quickly. You only get 20 min in the bath before you have to get out. We arrived when the baths were empty but still had to wait 40 minutes for them to prep them.  The actual baths are roomy for two people and nicely tiled, unfortunately they're inside a building with a very moldy, peeling ceiling and they make you get in and start your 20 minutes when the water is only 20cm high (it gradually fills up more). Would definitely avoid this place, at least in winter. Might be good when warmer and outside pools are filled.
Also while some staff were lovely, some were really rude. One tried to give our spot away and make us wait another 20-30 minutes because another couple that arrived way later gave the lady collecting the money their money a minute before we gave her ours and so they 'were first'. They at no time asked us to pay before this, and had told us already to sit and wait for them to prepare our bath. They were loudly telling the other couple they could go first and the couple was confused and pointing out we were first. We had to argue with staff to get our spot and the staff told us we had to ask the other couple for permission to get out spot back. Really not fun for a non-confrontational person.

If you really need a shower or bath 200pp is not bad, but it a long wait to use it and the water in not hot and the staff may mess with you so I wouldn't recommend.

Beautiful spot! Surrounded by rocks and there is a great structure all around (tables, parrila, even swimming pool etc). There is electricity if you need.
Hot bath of 36 degrees C. Really nice!! Highly recommended.
We paid 200 pesos for staying the night and 200 pesos each for the bath, which takes like 25 min max.

Un lugar perfecto para acampar y darte un baño. Super barato, 200 pesos por baño y 200 por acampada. Muy limpio. Una maravilla. Hay agua, baños y duchas. Y mesas con barbacoas.

A perfect place to camp and take a bath. Super cheap, 200 pesos per bath and 200 for camping. Very clean. A wonder. There is water, bathrooms and showers. And tables with barbecues.

There is a small swimmingpool with cold water and 3 bathrooms were you can take a private bath for 2 with warm water. Showers only cold and toilets did not flush. We camped here and got electricity. Payed 600 pesos all in. Beautiful surrounding.

Passamos duas noites muito boas dormindo dentro do carro. Banho muito bom. Pagamos 200 pesos por pessoa pelo banho e 200 pesos pra dormir no carro. Pessoal super amável! Tem um mercadinho próximo. Não tinha água nos banheiros, mas tinha balde com agua pra descarga. Tem que atravessar um rio pra chegar, mas vi todo tipo de carro passando sem problemas. Recomendamos! @esticaedalee

We couldn't cross the river because of rain. The place before (here on IO) is very nice with a great view.

March 4th, 2023 by passionnomad.com

Still the same. Prices did not change, payed 200 for the night per tent/car. Nice and calm at night.

November 13th, 2022 by yonatand

As Described. the thermal baths are nice at 200 pp. locals with some music until around 9pm and then quiet.

November 10th, 2022 by gpvuden

There’s a lot of construction going on. This could become one of the nicest places along this stretch of Ruta 40. The use of one of the three hot tubs costs $200 p.p. but prices may go up. I charged my phone on the one working socket at the bath house and paid some extra.

New toilet block with free hot showers. The large pool filled up overnight while I stayed there. Easy access thanks to the new asphalt road which starts 200 m after the (empty) riverbed crossing. Small kiosco in the hamlet, so stock up in Hualfin itself (ATM, small grocery, YPF-gas station).

Fine place to camp, but not a real “established” campground. It just has enough space to camp. We came here with our Toyota landcruiser with rooftop tent. Had to cross the river, but there was almost no water in it. These thermal baths are like a little bathhouse. They have three little bathrooms with baths which they fill up with water (36 degrees). You pay 200 pesos per person, we also had to pay 200 pesos for camping in front of these baths. It was neat. You also can climb up a little steep hill with a cable.

The hot springs are fine, they charged us 200 pesos per person. Sleeping is free and the use of barbecues too.

Construction going on. Seems they want to grow the site a lot (too much). Site is not very nice currently, outdoor pools are open only in summer, inside bath are awesome with water at very good temp 36deg. If you are lucky and there is nobody waiting for you, you can stay longer. I stayed more than 1 hour. 200 pesos pp, camping free.

June 8th, 2022 by dunbar8461

Here are two pools with water of 36 degrees. You pay 200 pesos and you can take a bath (or two, or .....) and also camp with your tent or motorhome. Isn't that great!?
Few other tourists, very quiet at night.

May 19th, 2022 by marcolimo0612

friendly.
paid 800 pesos for two nights, thermal baths ok.
beautiful place, we ve seen two condors.
good empanadas from the owner ask for them!

April 29th, 2022 by marieke_michiel

Wow what a great place! No need for 4x4 to get here. Some low hanging electricity lines at the enterance, so I used a pole to hold them high while my husband drove the truck under it.
Pools were empty, but you can make a reservation to take a bath in warm water for 200 pesos pp for 25 minutes. Bath big enough for 2 people. Allowed to use soap and wash your hair.
Next morning we took little walk in the canyon and saw a lot of parrots. Great empanadas at the entrance.

March 29th, 2022 by bertille.trsnl

The termas are now opened again.
You can get a clean bath for 200p/pp and you can camp there for free. Honestly pretty cool. The road to get there offers beautiful scenery. Bikes, motorcycle it's easy. There is a river to cross and a bridge but it's only for bikes or motorcycles. Cars, only go if you have 4x4, we met people that didn't and got stuck in the sandy river...

July 16th, 2021 by cernidiablik

the termas are closed at moment, we don't now it close for pandemia. locals tell us ,something is broken, this way its close. we can't go inside for looking only watch from the gate

Very nice, clean and beautiful termas. We stayed here for one night. It was a bit noisy because a group of people came to party (Friday night)

December 5th, 2019 by respiraelmomentoenkombi

Pasamos una noche en el complejo termal.
Las duchas de inmersión cuestan $30 por persona y el acampe $20.
Muy económico y muy recomendable pasar por acá.
El agua está a unos 36 grados. La gente local viene durante todo el dia a ducharse de manera gratuita. Las duchas estan abiertas hasta las 3 a.m

Beautiful setting but still a building site!

February 9th, 2019 by zeitreise2018

We came with low expectations, but we liked it here. Still, toilets are in bad shape, but most of the construction seems to be finished. There are three new big bath tubs in individual chambers. The water is crystal clear and has 36 degrees. After coming down after two weeks of bushcamping in the Puna, it was pure bliss. Strangely, there are no showers. There is also a small open concrete pool with lukewarm water. Nothing special, but the kids liked it. Prices are still next to nothing (20 p for camping, 15 for using the hot tubs). Nice place to camp under towering red rocks in a green valley.
A new pool and more buildings are still under construction.
I guess if you have just been to Fiambala, it is maybe not worth it, but for us it was nice. We were here on a Friday and almost alone.

November 14th, 2018 by anais.peaud

nice place with a nice view, hot showers. some people camr during the night to bath, but they were quiet.

March 13th, 2018 by www.bummelmitpummel.de

this place was very dissapointing for us. The hole place is under construction and everywhere is buildingmaterial laying around.
There are only bathrooms, no pools! The had only two old „bathrooms“ open and they are very unattractive. The newer ones are closed. We had no bath in there and left the place.

confirm what has been described earlier. nice walks around even if there are too many trashesaround this spots. saw locals at night and early morning. toilets not working. quiet and protected fro the wind.

June 25th, 2017 by americano.frenchpress

We had a great night's stay here. A friendly woman who maintains the termas charged 20 pesos per car for the night and 10 pesos per person for the baths. They were warm for a shower. There were a few people who came late night, but we were having a campfire so it wasn't a big worry. Filled up our water and able to use the toilets as well. Nice grounds with a fair price.

April 17th, 2017 by Auf großer Tour durch Südamerika 2016/2017

This is a very disappointing place in a beautiful setting. They tried to make it nice but just spoiled the valley. The place was obviously started with high ambitions but stopped half way. The remains are a couple of unfinished buildings and wrotten toilets. The finished buildings are pure concrete. The hot water you can only experience in concrete bathtubs in small and dark huts. There are no open pools. So it is nothing to compare with the thermal pools of Fiambala.
Staying overnight was ok, it was very quite but nothing more than that.

November 1st, 2016 by post

Secluded location: less dust during mild sandstorm. Friendly lady. 20 pesos for camping, 10 pp for bath.

July 10th, 2016 by Two Hungry Tourists

We enjoyed visiting the termas. We didn't camp there (opting to camp at the municipal camping at the bottom of the hill).

April 26th, 2016 by Robocop

This place is in wrong location - it is located at -27.21344, -66.86572

April 26th, 2016 by Robocop

it is 3km west of route 40 - the other entry for it is correct.

April 19th, 2016 by gobi-trotter

In renovation but you can use it. Toilets working and 2 individual rooms with thermal hot showers (or bath if you wait 1hour that bassin fills). 10peso/person. Parking 20peso, very quiet night. Open and guarded 24hours.

March 30th, 2016 by gringorick

Definitely not closed. The thermal shower was awesome. Showers cost 10 pesos per person. We showered and had lunch here but did not stay the night.

Attention, this GPS Waypoints is not exact! Will add a new one

March 16th, 2015 by 4x4tripping: About Overlanding, Gear, Travelogues

This entry has the correct GPS Data. The therme seems to be closed completely. Toilets have no water - but you can get a hot shower. Two "Rooms" with showers are available. Till midnight locals came too to this place, after that it is very quiet.

February 18th, 2015 by viareco

termas were closed and there was noone to charge for the camping. hot water coming out of the rocks are perfect for taking a shower. people from the neighbourhood came at night to take a shower as well. quiet in the night. nice view. we couldn't use the toilets because they were very dirty.
