In Salto, an Uruguayan province, the area within Salto Grande thermal springs features South America’s first thermal water fun park, Acuamania.

The design and construction of such park was in charge of the same designing companies as Disney and Wet'n Wild Parks.

Covering an area of about 15,000 square metres, a first class infrastructure can be found at the park, where memorable experiences can be enjoyed in a space aimed at entertainment and relaxation.

This artificial river, 300 metres long, 3 metres wide and 0.9 metres in depth, shall be navigated on rubber boats, passing through cascades, bridges, tunnels, etc enjoying a great time.

This attraction consists of two eighteen-metre high water slides. You may go down any of them at breakneck speed until finally falling into the warm thermal waters.

There are several games aimed at the youngest members of the family such as: slides, showers and pirate boats specially designed for them to enjoy themselves and remain safe in fairly shallow pools.

Pools where teenagers may enjoy themselves restlessly and have a wonderful time are also found at the park. Games such as springboards, slides, gaff sails and floats in a pool no more than 0.9 metres in depth will guarantee great fun.
