In the heart of Sáenz Peña are the thermal baths of Complejo Termal, considered by the Sociedad Argentina de Estudios Termales to be one of the best medicinal springs in the country. The waters here are said to be good for all types of muscular, circulatory and skin ailments. The spa has 20 private rooms with tubs and a broad cushioned bench for resting. The complex also has dry-heat saunas and humid Turkish baths assigned by gender. After a treatment, guests may relax in one of the six rooms with garden views.
