From Chillan, it is 82km to Termas de Chillán.  The first 72km are paved, and the last of a 8 dirt road in [[State of the Road|Good]] state.  (The map [http://www.turistel.cl/secciones/mapas/ruteros/biobio.htm mapa de turistel], shows it erroneously paved to the end).

===Public Transportation and Hitchiking===

From Chillán, Montecinos Buses will take you to Termas de Chillán. You can find them in Sargento Aldea 646, Chillán.

A few steps to the left of the entrance to the Termas de Chillan resort hot springs, at the last curve before the parking lot, a path begins that ascends a forest of Coigües. At the start you will see a wooden that says "Cabalgatas a Fumarolas - T. Aguas Calientes - Cel. xxxxxxxx". This point is at 1.710 meters of elevation.
A few steps below the entrance to the public hot springs, towards the south, at the last curve before the parking lot, a path begins that ascends a forest of Coigües. At the start you will see a red and white sign the signals "Fumarolas->" (fumaroles), so it is difficult to get lost. This point is at 1.710 meters of altitude.
+
  
The path ascends through the forest on a very clear track. After some 30-40 minutes of walking, the vegetation disappears and the first fumaroles become visible. The route goes some 100 meters from them, so the detour is well worth it. Then you should keep going to the pass that leads to the mud baths. Here, [[Imagen:Vista_valle_Aguas_Calientes_desde_el_Oeste.jpg|thumb|200px|Aguas Calientes Valley as seen from the Pass. Photo: Juan Pablo Ortega]] you will see the pass for the first time, towards the east, located next to the left of a tower of rocks. At this point, you will have two options: descend to the mud baths and then ascend through the valley, or mount a few meters on the edge with direction to some second fumaroles.  
+
The path ascends through the forest on a very clear track. After some 30-40 minutes of walking, the vegetation disappears and the first geysers become visible. The route goes some 100 meters from them, so a detour is well worth it. Then you should continue to the pass that leads down to the mud baths. Here, [[Imagen:Vista_valle_Aguas_Calientes_desde_el_Oeste.jpg|thumb|Aguas Calientes Valley as seen from the Pass. Photo: Juan Pablo Ortega]] you will see the second pass for the first time, towards the east, located next to the left of a tower of rocks. At this point, you will have two options: descend to the mud baths and then ascend through the valley, or ascend a few meters on the ridge towards some second geysers.  
  
If you decide for the fumaroles, once these cross, you will see a fork, which is not too visible. A path descends until reaching the valley and another follows the hillside without losing height, following a black tubbing that carries water to Termas de Chillán. Although the path that descends to the valley will make you lose height and goes back to the vegetation, it is a more comfortable trek than the traverse next to the tubbing (the waypoint "Estero", though, corresponds to the traverse route).

The main valley path is also very well marked with white round circles on rocks along the way.
  
After about 30 minutes of walking through the forest the trees begin to lose height until the vegetation disappears again at 2080 meters. The track to the pass is very clear, at 2400 meters (2 to 3 hours by car).

Along this main route, after about 30 minutes of walking through the forest the trees begin shrink until the vegetation disappears again at 2080 meters. The track to the pass is very clear, along volcanic rock and scree, ascending to a maximum of 2400 meters (2 to 3 hours from the parking lot).

You may find isolated spots of snow until the middle of the summer. From the pass, on a sunny day you may appreciate the [[Circuito Volcán Antuco|volcán Antuco y la Sierra Velluda]] to the south. También aparece hacia el este el precioso valle de Aguas Calientes. El bajar, muy pronto aparecerá una ancha huella construida por un bulldozer proveniente de las canchas de ski. Sin embargo, el sendero se desprende muy pronto de ella, y baja con mucho mayor pendiente en dirección al este. Se deben descender algo más de 300 metros desde el paso hasta llegar al valle, donde se es recibido por el cruce de un estero de agua helada con otro caliente (primer rio termal). Sólo 400 metros más en dirección al este, aparece la segunda fuente termal. En el mismo lecho, coexiste un hilo de agua caliente con un torrentoso estero de agua tibia. Este lugar puede ser considerado como término anticipado del trekking si no se desea caminar más. Es altamente recomendable apartarse del sendero y remontar el rio aguas arriba, donde se encontrará el origen del agua termal en forma de cascadas.  Si se opta por esta alternativa conviene cruzar el estero torrentoso -lo cual puede requerir sacarse los zapatos- y subir la ladera que limita el rio, luego de caminar por aproximadamente 10 minutos, al ver pastizales entre el filo de la ladera y el rio, se debe descender por esta escarpada pendiente hasta llegar al rio mismo y "voi la" las cascadas termales. Para seguir a las otras  fuentes termales hay que devolverse hasta hasta el punto en que se abandonó el sendero y seguirlo por el verde valle hacia el este. 1,7 kilómetros más adelante, aparece un tercer estero termal, de agua tan caliente que, en su origen, incluso permite cocinar (con paciencia). Es además potable, por lo que permite tomar café y té directamente, sin necesidad de utilizar cocinilla. [[Imagen:Segundo_Rio_Termal_zona_cascadas.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Segundo rio termal. Imagen: Juan Pablo Ortega]]Sólo 630 metros más hacie el este, el valle termina, y se encuentra un espléndido pozón, alimentado por un generoso chorro caliente, un pequeño estero helado y un afloramiento de agua tibia (todo en uno), lo que permite calibrar la temperatura "a gusto". Junto a él existen buenos lugares para acampar. Este punto da fin al trek aún cuando el sendero continua hasta el Rio Ñuble. Éste esta descrito en el trek

You may find isolated spots of snow until the middle of the summer. From the pass, on a sunny day you can see the [[Circuito Volcán Antuco|volcán Antuco and la Sierra Velluda]] to the south. The Valle de Aguas Calientes also can now be seen. As you descend there are two cross-paths which are blocked off by rocks, stay on the main trail. Continue to descend some 300 meters into the valley.
[[Rio Ñuble - Valle de Aguas Calientes]]

+
When you reach the bottom you will have to cross the first small thermal and cold water streams. Only 400 meters later (East) you will see the second thermal river. There are nice campsites here and the hike can be ended at this point. This campsite is more scenic than the second described, with views of the volcano, however the hot springs are quite hot. There is also a side hike upstream along the ridge once you cross the second thermal river which takes you to waterfalls (they can be dry off season). There is also a small waterfall slightly downstream at this site.

 +
Continuing on the main trail from this site, 1.7KM later you will cross the third thermal stream. The water here at the source is quite hot and can be used to make coffee or tea.[[Imagen:Segundo_Rio_Termal_zona_cascadas.jpg|thumb|left|Segundo río termal. Imagen: Juan Pablo Ortega]]

 +
Continuing along the main trail some 630 meters, the valley ends. There are campsites and a larger thermal pool that is fed by a small waterfall. There are colder streams that feed into this pool too so you can sit where the temperature is most comfortable. This point is the end of the trek, however you can continue on the trail to Rio Ñuble.

Pass to the valley of Aguas Calientes. Photo: Constanza Miranda

A few steps to the left of the entrance to the Termas de Chillan resort hot springs, at the last curve before the parking lot, a path begins that ascends a forest of Coigües. At the start you will see a wooden that says "Cabalgatas a Fumarolas - T. Aguas Calientes - Cel. xxxxxxxx". This point is at 1.710 meters of elevation.

The path ascends through the forest on a very clear track. After some 30-40 minutes of walking, the vegetation disappears and the first geysers become visible. The route goes some 100 meters from them, so a detour is well worth it. Then you should continue to the pass that leads down to the mud baths. Here,
