Practical information about Aguadita
Reviews of Aguadita
La Aguadita thermal waters, or La Aguada de los Chanampas, are situated about 15 km north of Tinogasta in the province of Catamarca.
My suggestion:
La Aguadita's waters are famous for helping with rheumatism, arthritis or skin problems.
Summary:
At the foot of Cerro Negro de Rodriguez, only a few kilometres from Tinogasta, are the thermal springs of La Aguadita. The water in the three natural pools can get up to 35°C. The waters contain numerous minerals and are recommended for people with joint and skin problems. In the olden days Tinogasta's Indians used the waters to cure themselves. It was also a sacred place.
I had the opportunity to explore La Aguadita spa during a trip round Catamarca. After travelling by car for miles it was a real pleasure to stop and dive into La Aguadita's warm water. Unfortunately, the place is not very well looked after and it's a bit old fashioned but that's no reason to deprive yourself of this pleasure during a trip to Argentina.
