Federación
Federación is synonymous with thermal relaxation in Argentina. Located on the shores of Lake Salto Grande, this relocated city rebuilt itself around its natural hot springs, creating a premier wellness destination. The Thermal Park is the main draw, featuring numerous pools with varying temperatures, wave pools, and spa services suitable for all ages. Beyond the baths, visitors can stroll along the waterfront promenade (costanera), rent kayaks, or enjoy sport fishing in the expansive lake. The local gastronomy highlights river fish like boga and dorado, often grilled and paired with regional wines. Easily accessible by bus or car via National Route 14, Federación is a year-round destination. However, the cooler months from April to October provide the most pleasant contrast for enjoying the hot thermal waters outdoors.
