Termas de Guaviyú is a thermal water park featuring four circular pools equipped with hydro massage jets, surrounded by native yatay palm trees. The facility sits along National Route 3 near Paysandú in northern Uruguay.
The thermal springs were discovered during oil exploration activities in the region, which later led to the creation of this recreational complex. This accidental finding transformed the area into a leisure destination.
The pools serve as a gathering place where locals and visitors spend time together in the warm waters, following common leisure practices in the region. These informal meetings at the basins are woven into daily life here.
The thermal water maintains a steady temperature between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius (99 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round. The palm-filled surroundings provide natural shade and walking paths connecting the different pools.
The water contains minerals that reduce nerve and muscle tension, making it notable for physical relaxation. Visitors often notice how the composition affects how their body feels during and after bathing.
