Our main reason for visiting Parque Nacional Puyehue was not the scenery, not the hiking, and certainly not the bugs. No, it was all about the thermal mineral baths. For just a few dollars, you get a locker in a changing room, showers, a mandatory hairnet, and all-day access to the double-Olympic-sized thermal pool inside this building, with all the soothing minerals your body can take in. The only downside is the strict rules posted on the wall, including rule number 6: "No public displays of affection." We wouldn't have thought that was so much of a problem they'd have to post a sign prohibiting it, but given the average size of the person in there (three times ours), we're glad they did.
