Nevados de Chillán — Chillán to the Termas.
Ruta N-55 runs 82 km from the farm city of Chillán straight into the Andes, climbing through foothills and native forest to the hot springs and ski slopes beneath the smoking Nevados de Chillán volcano. The upper section turns to gravel; the payoff is steaming thermal pools at the foot of an active volcano.
