Audio Guide of Fiambalá Hot Springs

The Fiambalá Hot Springs are usually open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, although it is advisable to check for seasonal changes on the official Catamarca tourism website. To get there, the most common option is to travel by private car, taxi, or remise from Fiambalá, about 12 km away, along a scenic mountain road.

Yes, there is an entrance fee for the Fiambalá Hot Springs, and it is updated periodically. There are generally different rates for residents and tourists, as well as possible discounts for retirees and children. I suggest checking current prices with the Municipality of Fiambalá or when you arrive at the site.

To fully enjoy the Fiambalá Hot Springs and their different pools with varying temperatures, I recommend allowing at least half a day, around 3 to 4 hours. This will give you time to relax, change clothes, and enjoy the different pools at an unhurried pace.

The Fiambalá Hot Springs have been known for their healing properties since ancient times and were valued by the region’s Indigenous communities. The use of these thermal waters is part of Catamarca’s natural and cultural heritage, offering an oasis of well-being amid an impressive landscape.

The best time to visit is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), when the weather is milder and more pleasant. If you can choose the time of day, I suggest going early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or at sunset for a magical experience.

Access to the Fiambalá Hot Springs has some limitations for people with reduced mobility because of the terraced layout and the nature of the terrain. Although some improvements have been made, I recommend contacting the Fiambalá Tourism Office in advance for specific information about current facilities and to ensure a comfortable visit.

Absolutely! Very close to Fiambalá, you can visit the Tatón Dunes, which are ideal for sandboarding or 4x4 excursions. I also suggest exploring the Adobe Route, a historic trail with century-old churches and old adobe buildings. Don’t miss the Adobe Route—it’s a must-see.

Of course—here are a few: bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, as the high-altitude sun is intense. Don’t forget your swimsuit, towel, sandals, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. There are changing rooms and showers, but it’s a good idea to bring a bag for wet clothes. And most importantly, relax and enjoy the surroundings!
