Chajarí
Spend a half‑day in Chajari to see the hot springs and museum; add a night if you want a relaxed stay at the Termas.
Chajari is a small Entre Ríos city on Ruta 14, about 5 h drive from Buenos Aires. Its flat grid makes walking easy, and the main attraction is the modern Termas complex plus a modest museum. One day covers the highlights; an overnight lets you enjoy the thermal baths at leisure.
