A remote, majestic and quiet place at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Baños Colina is located about 100 kms (62 miles) away from Santiago and at an altitude of 2.500 meters (8.200 ft) . The waters of these natural pools can reach temperatures up to 50°C (122 F°) and are arranged as outdoor terraces, thanks to the calcareous deposits and the activity of San Jose Volcano of 5.856 meters (19.200 ft). Enjoy a relaxing and therapeutic hot spring bath in the middle of the Andes, after a stunning 4 kms (2,4 miles) hike to the view point of the San Jose Volcano volcanic complex.

My sister in law and I (in our mid 40’s) went on this tour. We were picked up by 2 young, bilingual guides Francisco and Elias. They were awesome! We picked up 3 more people and drive to an awesome local joint about an hour outside the city. We were able to order coffee and breakfast there while they packed our lunch. The food was awesome and they were very accommodating to my vegetarian diet. We then drive another hour into the mountains, the guides were very informative and pointed out all the sights. We did a short hike to a waterfall. Then drive a few mins more to the hiking spot (a goat farm) where they let me play with the goats. We hiked about an hour. They offer walking sticks. I would rate this hike a little above beginner. It has some steep moments but not bad. We took pics in a meadow and relaxed, ate lunch. Hiked back to the car (3.8 miles) the guides were really attentive to my SIL she is not an experienced hiker. We then drove another 15 mins to the hot springs. We were there for about an hour. Soaking and relaxing. Then we drove back to the restaurant about an hour. They had wine and lite bites waiting for us. Then another hour home. It was a perfect day. I would say this- bring a wind jacket, a hat, sunblock, bathing suit and towel. I forgot my jacket and the guide Francisco gave me one of his. Do this!!!
