Spend a full day soaking in Termas del Sol’s mineral pools along the Reloncaví Fjord. This guided excursion from Puerto Varas pairs thermal bathing with short nature walks and scenic stops at the Puelo River bridge and Cochamó.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
On a cool southern morning the coach slips away from Puerto Varas and follows the lake’s edge toward the Reloncaví Fjord; woodlands press close, and steam already curls where underground heat meets cold Patagonian air. By the time you reach Termas del Sol the landscape has changed—stone pools step down a gentle slope, each holding water between 36° and 45°C, steam lifting like breath from the land.
