Wood will decay if temperature, oxygen, and moisture are not controlled. The simplest way
to prevent biological deterioration is to keep wood dry. However, this is not practical for
outdoor structures. Where temperature, oxygen,
and moisture cannot be entirely controlled, use of decay-resistant wood species and/or
woods treated with preservatives is the only option to prevent wood deterioration.
Wood is treated with copper and arsenic forced into the grain inside high-pressure
cylinders. Because the chemicals are fixed in the wood and don't leach out, pressuretreated wood is safe to use in vegetable gardens.
Wood preservative contains chemicals that kill the fungi and insects that discolor or
destroy wood.
A water repellent is a penetrating wood finish loaded with oils or waxes designed to
prevent water from soaking into wood.
After wood is properly treated with any waterborne-preservative-treatment process, it is
re-dried (kiln dried or air dried).

The wooden footbridge that passes through the center allows one to look around the
ravine and choose ones favorite pool in which to bathe.
Close to every pool there is a wooden pavilion with private bathrooms, locker rooms,
and a deck for resting
Under the footbridge, which is about 1,476 ft. long (450 m), the thermal waters flow into
the pools through a wooden channel that directs the water.
Around these springs, theres meeting place, quincho, assembled of pure wood, where one
can sit and chat with friends after a refreshing bath. Its a covered and warm space around
an open fire.
The lighting is unobtrusive and allows one to experience the natural darkness of the
environment as it is, while providing the required minimum illumination for safe
circulation.
The geometry highlights the natural and separates it from the built.
This architecture distinguishes the place and makes it irreplaceable.
