El Plomo Hot Springs (2.910 m. - 10.270 ft.)
Andes Mountain Range
![]() |
Highlight Natural hot springs with no infrastructure, in the heart of the mountain, in the depths of the magnificent Yeso valley. During this trajectory we will be able to spot the El Yeso reservoir, impressive mountains, rocks, and glaciers. During the summer it is possible to access the hot springs directly by car. In these conditions, the outing is carried out with no need to walk. During spring, the approximation to the hot springs hidden in a blanket of snow is a true luxury.
Description At the end of the spectacular Yeso valley, and after bordering its reservoir, the car path ascends softly. It then narrows and increases its incline, in a zone quite green for its altitude. When turning north, we will see the great high plain where the hot springs are found hidden at first sight, but waiting for us. The Andean setting of this place is overwhelming. We are now in the depths of the Andes . The only thing left to do now is to put our bathing suits on and enjoy these pristine hot spring waters. |
