Fuentes Georginas, Natural pool in Zunil, Guatemala
The thermal water pools of Fuentes Georginas emerge from Volcano Zunil, creating several bathing areas with different temperatures set among green mountains.
Indigenous communities have used these thermal springs for centuries, recognizing their medicinal properties long before the site became a developed attraction.
Local residents maintain traditional wellness practices at these springs, incorporating native herbs and minerals into their healing treatments.
The facility operates daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, offering changing rooms, lockers, and an on-site restaurant serving Guatemalan dishes.
The natural springs feature mineral-rich sulfur waters that maintain a constant warm temperature throughout the year due to underground volcanic activity.

Guatemala offers Maya ruins, volcanoes and colonial buildings for photographers. The landscape features lakes, rainforests and beaches. Cities display Spanish architecture and indigenous markets.
Guatemala contains several photographic subjects within its borders. Maya ruins such as Tikal, Yaxha and Quiriguá stand in the tropical forests of Petén and Izabal. Colonial architecture appears in Antigua Guatemala, where the Santa Catalina Arch and painted facades line cobblestone streets. Lake Atitlán sits between three volcanoes, with towns like Santiago Atitlán and San Marcos La Laguna offering different perspectives on the water. Active volcanoes including Pacaya and Acatenango provide opportunities to photograph lava flows and crater landscapes. The highland areas of Alta Verapaz hold Semuc Champey, a natural limestone pool, and the caves of Lanquín and Candelaria. Hot springs at Fuentes Georginas lie near Quetzaltenango in the western highlands. Chichicastenango Market documents textile trade and indigenous ceremonies. Livingston on the Rio Dulce shows Garifuna culture on the Caribbean coast, while Monterrico offers black sand beaches on the Pacific. Less visited sites like Dos Pilas, Takalik Abaj and Iximche add pre-Columbian contexts. The collection covers both well known and remote locations across Guatemala's varied geography.
