Puyehue Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We awoke to Naked Jim's absence. He left early this morning back to Argentina. We had a quiet, mellow morning and then headed up to the hot springs at Aguas Calientes in Puyehue National Park. The natural springs were closed in the national park so we drove back down the road to Termas Puyehue Hotel & Spa which is a grandiose 5 star hotel. I...
