South America's first water park, an oasis of fun and adrenaline fed by the thermal waters of Salto.
Hello! Acuamanía usually opens during the high season (the Uruguayan summer) with hours that generally run from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I recommend always checking its official website or calling the contact number (usually +598 4732 6023) to confirm before your visit. To get there, you can take a taxi, a private car service, or in some cases arrange a transfer through your hotel.
The general admission price for Acuamanía varies depending on the season and the visitor's age. There are usually rates for adults, children, and discounts for residents. I suggest checking the 'Tickets' section on its official website to see the latest prices and whether there are family packages or current promotions. Sometimes buying online in advance can offer a small discount.
To fully enjoy all of Acuamanía's attractions, I would recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 4 to 6 hours. If you are traveling with children and want them to try all the rides, or if you simply want to relax by the pool, even a full day could be ideal. There is a lot to do, and time flies when you are having fun!
Acuamanía is a major landmark in Uruguay's western region, as it was the country's first thermal and water park. Its importance lies in offering a unique mix of entertainment and wellness by combining the fun of a water park with the properties of Salto's thermal waters. It is a source of local pride and a much-loved attraction. It does not have an ancient history, but it does have a successful track record in leisure tourism.
The ideal season to visit Acuamanía is summer, from December to March, when all of its water attractions are fully operating. To avoid crowds, I recommend going on weekdays and, if possible, arriving shortly after opening in the morning. That way you can enjoy the most popular attractions with fewer people around. Weekends and public holidays are usually busier.
Yes, Acuamanía makes an effort to be an inclusive park. It has ramps and suitable access for wheelchairs in much of its facilities, particularly in the common areas and main pools. However, for specific attractions such as the slides, accessibility may vary, so I suggest contacting the park directly about your needs before going by calling +598 4732 6023.
Salto has much more to offer! After Acuamanía, I recommend visiting Daymán Hot Springs or the Arapey Hot Springs for a more relaxing day. You can also explore downtown Salto, the Salto Grande Dam, or the beautiful Botanical Garden / Indigenous Park. There are options for every taste!
Of course! I suggest bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, towels, and a change of clothes. It is also a good idea to wear water-friendly sandals. If you plan to eat there, they have food options, but you can also bring something light to snack on. And most importantly: stay hydrated and enjoy all the attractions to the fullest!
