Hot water canyon in Thues: an exceptional geological setting
But where does this providential hot water come from?
It first infiltrates the Puigmal, Canigou and Carança massifs, at an altitude of 2 metres. Along its course, it penetrates deep underground and is heated by contact with the hot rocks of the earth's crust. Then, the Têt fault, which is at the origin of the birth of the Pyrenees chain, allows hot and sulphurous water to rise to the surface. It can reach up to 000°C!
This is how we find hydrothermal springs in the Pyrénées-Orientales, notably in St-Thomas-les-Bains, Thuès-les-Bains and Vernet-les-Bains.
In Thuès, the water runs through pretty mineral gorges, to the delight of canyoning enthusiasts!
