Malleco Hot Springs
In short
The former Tolhuaca Hot Springs, with a spring at 86 °C and geysers by the Dillo river, 34 km from Curacautín.
Malleco Hot Springs, formerly called Tolhuaca Hot Springs, lie by the Dillo river, 34 km from Curacautín. They have a spring at 86 °C and geysers (source: Araucanía Andina). It is a rustic hot-spring center with natural pools on the riverbank (source: Sernatur, chile.travel).
Things to do
- Thermal bathing in the natural pools (source: Sernatur, chile.travel).
- Tolhuaca National Park: in the same area, with the roughly 50-meter Malleco waterfall, La Culebra trail and Laguna Verde (same source).
- Two-day itinerary: Sernatur suggests a day of trails in Tolhuaca and another at the hot springs, ending with local food in Curacautín (source: Sernatur, chile.travel).
Getting there
From Santiago or the north, take Route 5 to Victoria and then head to Curacautín, the gateway to Tolhuaca (source: Sernatur, chile.travel). From Curacautín it's 34 km (source: Araucanía Andina).
Before you go
Check prices, opening hours and booking requirements directly with the hot springs. The spring water comes out very hot: only bathe in the designated pools.
