Hello - looking into Termas Huife, San Luis or Panqui and wondering if anyone has any recommendations on one over another. Termas Huife seems most expensive, is it worth it? Termas Panqui seems very rustic - how funky is it?
Termas San Luis seems in the middle - any experience with any of them? Thanks - Ruth

Ruth, we went to the Termas de Huife recently so it is the only one I can tell you about. We arranged the day through our cabins which gave us a small discount. The van picked us up at 11. The ride to Huife was lovely and took about half an hour. We were the first to arrive other than people staying in the lovely cabins at the Termas. There are changing rooms and a place to store your clothes. You get an elastic wrist band with a number. You can rent a robe. Our cabin owner lent us towels but I imagine you can rent these too. There are three pools of vayring temperatures included in the price and one you pay extra for. That one has a glass surround and lots of deck chairs but other than that it seems it is the same but less crowded. But none of the pools were very full of people even though it was a Sunday. The large pools look like swimming pools but the bottom is small pebbles. The thermal water filters up through this. The day was cool because of the rain earlier and it was delightful to soak in the hot water. We just relaxed and enjoyed the water. The water has no smell, by the way, no sulphur. There is a main restaurant upstairs with a very nice lunch or there is a cafetería restaurant downstairs. You can get a sandwich or a set menu. After lunch we set off to do one of the walks in the grounds. There is a large, very sturdy wooden bridge just up beyond the cabins which leads to a walk. You can also do canopy, have a massage or mud treatment for an extra cost. The van returned us to our cabin at 5. All the best thermal springs in the area can be found at: http://www.termasdelsur.cl/
