Abstract

Hot springs are bodies of groundwater heated by magma that emerge to the surface with high temperatures. The objective of this study, carried out in Sajama National Park (SNP), Bolivia, was to characterize the hydrochemistry of these waters, check if they present similar characteristics among themselves and evaluate their impact on the Junthuma River.
