17. Termas de Puritama, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile: High-Altitude Oasis
Find serenity amidst the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert at Termas de Puritama. These eight geothermal pools are terraced along a canyon floor, offering warm, mineral-rich waters in a stunning high-altitude setting (around 3,500m). While requiring transport from San Pedro, the entrance fee provides access to a unique natural spa experience, allowing you to soak surrounded by desert grasses and dramatic rock formations – a truly memorable and relatively affordable desert indulgence.
