Baños de Apoquindo, Thermal springs in Sierra de Ramón, Chile
Baños de Apoquindo are thermal springs in the Sierra de Ramón near Santiago where warm water naturally flows from underground sources. The water is rich in minerals and flows steadily from the mountain throughout the year.
The site was valued as a healing place long before Spanish arrival, then became a fashionable retreat in the early 20th century. A hotel was built there to serve visitors from Santiago seeking rest and therapeutic experiences.
The place has drawn visitors for generations seeking the healing properties of the warm waters. Today, people continue to visit to experience the natural springs and their reputed therapeutic effects.
The springs are accessible year-round, though the Southern Hemisphere summer offers the most pleasant visiting conditions. The location is in a mountain area, so visitors should wear appropriate clothing for cooler temperatures.
The water has maintained the same temperature and mineral content over more than a century of documented observation, revealing the stability of its underground source. This consistency makes it rare among natural springs in the region.
