"This enormous salty lagoon features a small mineral-rich thermal water swimming pool where visitors can take a bath early in the morning. The water temperature is usually from 28 to 30 Degrees and it is famous for curing arthritis and rheumatism. There's a restaurant, changing sheds and toilets.

The Polques hot springs are located to the West of Chalviri town (between the Salvador Dalí desert and the Sol de Mañana geysers) and are well-known because of the intense volcanic activity in the area which created the pleasant warm spring that is drained into the pool. The western flooded part is called Laguna Salada (salty lake)."

" Cet immense lagon salé abrite une petite piscine d'eau thermale riche en minéraux où les visiteurs peuvent se baigner tôt le matin. La température de l'eau est généralement de 28 à 30 degrés et elle est réputée pour guérir l'arthrite et les rhumatismes. Il y a un restaurant, des vestiaires et des toilettes.

Les sources chaudes de Polques sont situées à l'ouest de la ville de Chalviri (entre le désert de Salvador Dalí et les geysers de Sol de Mañana) et sont bien connues en raison de l'activité volcanique intense dans la région qui a créé l'agréable source chaude qui se déverse dans le piscine. La partie occidentale inondée est appelée Laguna Salada (lac salé)."
