Termas de cacheuta — Attraction in Mendoza

We spent a lovely day at this thermal spa. The value for money was quite good when booking directly with the company. Included in the day package was transfers from our hotel to the site, access to the various hot springs and pools, saunas, mud therapy, and a buffet lunch.

The views were spectacular and the thermal pools were warm and relaxing. The humid sauna was HOT - we could only start a couple of minutes before returning to the pools.

All of the private enterprises have set up on the perimeter of this very busy hot springs but in typical Argentinian fashion are very wonderful, warm and respectful, so you don’t feel smothered like in other countries that try to drag you into their establishments by any means necessary! We spent a few hours and had a lovely lunch there and basked in the gorgeous Argentina sunshine! My wife and I split off from our group and (don’t tell) went outside of the cordoned off area down at the river and took a dip in the chilly river waters and lay on a beautiful giant rock that had been curved and smoothed by eons...
