| Publisher Description: Andean heat engine, volcanoes driving thermal fluids, springs and geysers bubbling in the mountains, from high plateaus to glacial fjords, Hot Springs of the Andes provides the essential advice on exploring the hidden secrets of natural relaxation. GPS coordinates for each hot spring accompany descriptions. Hot springs are placed in the context of the main volcanic zones of the Andes. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina; each country paints a different cultural experience for enjoying hot springs with many locations having use dating before the Incas. With a touch of geology to stimulate the mind, each steaming pool is a story of subduction, magma, earthquakes, and erosion; all greater riddles to ponder while engaged in deep whole body thermal immersions. |
