We spent a couple of days sitting in hot pools that started at 50 degrees C, high up the mountain near the water's source, and dropped to a more comfortable 35 degrees C farther down. In the evening you can sit in one of the pools and watch the stars. En route there is a perfectly serviceable hostel attached to the tourism office should you need to stay in Fiambalá. Alternatively, go straight up the mountain and enjoy the thermal springs. There is more on www.worldgonemad.org.
