Recommendations Difficulty level is low and suitable for most travelers. The hot springs are located at 3,500 meters (11,480 ft), so we recommend spending at least one day acclimatizing in San Pedro de Atacama before visiting. Bring a change of clothes for added comfort after your swim. Stay hydrated, as the desert climate is very dry year-round. Lockers and facilities are limited, so bring only essential personal belongings.
