Hot Spring
About 11km east of town, up the wooded Fernández valley, a natural hot spring has bubbling water and powder-fine mud – perfect for a face pack. The slightly sulfurous water and mud is said to have curative properties. The hot spring can be reached by mototaxi (S35 including waiting time).
