We predict that self-bound clusters of particles exist in the supercritical phase of simple fluids. These clusters, whose internal temperature is lower than the global temperature of the system, define a percolation line that starts at the critical point. This line should be physically observable. Possible experiments showing the validity of these predictions are discussed.
