HOTEL BALNEARIO JAHUEL
Termas Jahuel

Advertising postcard published by Leonar, Nº 11.

Termas Jahuel are hot springs located in Chile, in the Andes mountain range, 14 kilometers from San Felipe and 98 kilometers from Santiago, at an altitude of 1180 meters. Its surface is 538 hectares. The hotel was built in 1912, and was completely remodeled in 2005 (the image on the postcard is from earlier, probably from the 1950s). All the water consumed in the hotel is of thermal origin, and comes out at 22 degrees Celsius from the source located in its enclosure. In 1834 Charles Darwin verified the relaxing benefits of Jahuel, and recounted it in The Voyage of the Beagle.
