Down the Ruta Nacional Nº 9 National Route, eight kilometres north of San Salvador de Jujuy the traveller will find the first village in the surrounding countryside: Kings or "Reyes", a place which has become a weekend retreat and getaway for many of its inhabitants. A place where to recharge energies and to enjoy the varied vegetation of the surrounding valleys.

The many old summer houses there found, show how long this small village ahs been used as a vacation spot. Some of the houses have front-end porches, which give the best view over the beautiful countryside.

If you continue past the village on the Ruta Provincial Nº 4 Provincial Route, following the Río Reyes River, which here runs through a broad causeway filled with stones, you will reach the place where it turns into a gravel road 17 kilometres from the village. There are no more houses, and the road climbs up for another three kilometres until you reach a fabulous lookout point over the Reyes Gorge.

Just a few kilometres further on, at 1800 m.a.s.l. the traveller will think he or she has arrived in Paradise. It is the Termas de Reyes Hot Springs, which lies in a bend where the Reyes River zigzags back and forth. This is the main resort in the picturesque Reyes Gorge, which here is slightly two kilometres across, contained with tree covered cliff walls.

In the Termas de Reyes you will find a hotel and also public baths. A place where to enjoy the therapeutic medicinal properties and benefits of these mineral water hot springs, which curative properties have been described as far back as in the XVIth century.

The alkaline hot spring water contains sulphates, sodium, calcium and bicarbonate compounds. They are especially famous for the treatment of cases of rheumatism, neurosis, paralysis, gout, as well as some skin affections.

Theses are the best known and most famous hot springs that the traveller will find amongst the more than forty hot springs sites that exist in many places all over the Province of Jujuy. These hot springs are included the Yala-Termas de Reyes circuit, and offer the possibility to programme short walks, or travel on the cliffhanging roads which will take the traveller to the Lagunas de Yala Lakes.

Possible activities include observation of flora and fauna, photo safaris, guided tours, walks, horseback rides and biking.
