Our day at the hot springs was a delightful escape, with soothing waters that melted our stress away. While the casino stop was entertaining, we found it slightly rushed compared to the serene spa experience at Rio Hondo; overall, it was a fun day out in San Miguel de Tucumán.

Soaking in the hot springs was a perfect way to unwind, and I found the scenery around Rio Hondo to be even more beautiful than I had expected. The only hiccup was the transportation, which felt a bit cramped, but the fun at the casino afterward made up for it.
