Hot springs of Polloquere, Salar de Surire. Incredible hot springs. Part of the Salar, just stunning. We didn't sleep here (just a lunch stop), but it would probably be a wonderfully quiet and beautiful camp site. Picnic table available with wind shelter. Free.

Another wow! Amazing place to camp. We are with a motorhome. Blue sparkling water just choose the temperature you like. windy at the afternoon. The way is a bit rough but slowly you'll get here. Enjoy!
Report Check-InBeautiful spot, especially at sunrise when the smokes from geothermal activity are very intense! We loved it!
Report Check-InCrazy place to sleep! The dirt road from Putre to the beginning of the salar is in perfect conditions and the landscapes are crazy. From the salar to the ruta 15, the road is in bad conditions and has some sandy parts but we did it with our 2WD. Don't park too long in the springs vapors if you don't want your van to smell like sulfur for days ✌🏼😅
Report Check-InAmazing hot pot! Huge natural pool smoking. As said before, be careful where you enter the water. Near the road it's boiling! We went in near the shelter picnic table and it was great. Great spot to spend the night with flamingos and vicunas as neighbors! No problem accessing with our 2WD van.
Report Check-InFantastic spot to camp even without any amenities: we slept in the car and enjoyed a beautiful sunset with smoking hot pools. Water is great, very hot at some spots, so be careful where to enter. We were completely alone, making this a great experience in nature. Roads cn be tricky without high clearance or 4WD after rain.
Report Check-InReally great spot! The hot springs were so nice! The ones on the left side of the wall (further away from the road) were perfect. No facilities, just a picnic table and a small wall around it, good for tents. Good for all cars, we went in our 2wd van, dirt road was fine, flat spots. Free!
Report Check-InGreat spot, but be very careful about where to enter the water. One of us severely burned the skin (2nd degree burn) in the hot mud. Near the walls is probably a safe spot to enter, not close to the road!
Report Check-InJust like the other comments say: beautiful spot! One extra note: be careful for sharp rocks in the Termas, best to protect your feet while bathing.
Report Check-InAmazing place to stay overnight. Close to the hot water an Flamingos. Lots of Alpacas. Pure and phantastic nature. Please keep the enviroment.
Report Check-InFantastic place to spend the night. Be prepared: No drinking water, no toilets, cold at night.
Report Check-InAbsolutely stunning. Worth all the trouble trying to get here. But be prepared, because after you see this place you won't see other termales the same way anymore. Nothing can beat the beauty of Polloquere.
Report Check-InWow wow wow. We spent the night here in our tent all alone. It was o e of the highlights of our trip. Woke up to flamingos outside the tent. We camped in the walled shelter.
Report Check-InSuperbe endroit pour un bivouac,seul au monde au bord des thermes avec les vicuñas et les flamands roses pour voisins

Report Check-InFantastic termas! Water was so hot, even too hot in some spots! So windy and cold. We camped there and it was -15 during the night.
