Highlights Atacama
The Juncal Waterfall and Hot Springs are located in the Andes Mountains, specifically in the Atacama region, Chile. This area is a true paradise for those seeking a deep connection with nature, adventure, and the tranquility of hot springs in a high-mountain setting. The waterfall descends powerfully from the heights of the mountain range, surrounded by a rugged landscape that invites contemplation, accessible via mountain trails. Just a few kilometers from the waterfall, the Termas de Juncal offer a relaxing refuge with their thermal waters that emerge at high temperatures. The thermal water has mineral properties beneficial for health, and the environment is ideal for rest. Languages: English, Spanish
