• Amarillo hot springs

    January 7, 2018 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    The van finally came to pick us up around 5:15 pm. The Amarillo hot springs were quite near this place (about 10 kms away) and we still had time till its closure at 8:30 pm so asked Igor if we could go there. The van driver wanted 5000 CLP per person for the drop but we negotiated with Igor that we had not been able to make it to the end of the trek so he should include this in the trek price. He agreed and we went to the Amarillo hot springs. None of us had our swimming suits so Hristo and Maria dropped out, but Melinda and I wanted to go there since both had paining knees and the hot springs would be beneficial for it. We were fine using our undergarments instead of the swimming costumes. The 2 of us were dropped off there while the rest went back to Chaiten. We enjoyed a lovely dip in the hot waters for almost 2 hours. Igor was there with the van when we came out. The way back was extremely beautiful. For the 1st time, we were able to see the surroundings without the clouds covering everything up.Read more
