It rained overnight and was still damp when we awoke. The cloud had not lifted since we arrived and we had not even had a glimpse of Volcano Villarica.
We had a lazy morning and set off again for the Termas Geometricas - the long way round.
The springs were up the other end of the dirt road that we had failed to pass yesterday. However the track was better and we made it about two in the afternoon. The Termas are slate baths in a gorge on the side of the volcano, filled with naturally hot waters. It was very lushly vegetated, with ferns and fuchsia bushes. The different baths are linked by a walkway that heads to a waterfall at the top.
It was tipping down with rain, but the baths were warm - between 34 and 37 celcius. Steam rose from the pools, hence the blurred photos.
It was quite quiet, and most of the time we had a pool to ourselves. We were both surprised to find that we had spent 5 hours there doing nothing in particular.
We arrived back to the cabanas as darkness fell and celebrated New Year with a miniature bottle of Glenfiddich.
