Fuentes Georginas
Natural volcanic hot spring pools in a cloud-forest valley, surrounded by ferns and mist. It is Xela's most classic place to relax.
Fuentes Georginas lies in a valley about 8 km above Zunil, at an elevation of 2,500 meters. The spring water comes from Cerro Quemado volcano and flows into several open-air pools at different temperatures. Surrounded by cliffs covered in ferns and moss, the valley is often wrapped in mist that makes it look like a fairyland. Admission costs about 60 quetzales. The park has a restaurant and cabins where you can stay overnight. To get there, take a minibus from Xela to Zunil, then transfer to a pickup truck up the mountain, or book a shuttle day trip.
