Santa Teresa Hot Springs.

Santa Teresa is a thermal spring complex in Ahuachapán featuring around 30 pools of varying temperatures fed by mineral-rich water, set among natural vegetation and pathways. The site is designed with basic facilities to allow visitors to bathe and walk between different pools at their own pace.

Local communities in El Salvador have long used these thermal waters for healing purposes before the site developed into a modern facility open to the public. The transformation reflects growing interest in making this natural resource available to a wider range of visitors.

Local artisans sell traditional Salvadoran crafts near the entrance, and visitors can observe local people enjoying the springs throughout the day.

The site is accessible daily and features level ground easy to walk around on. Bring swimwear and be careful on slippery surfaces, especially near the hotter pools where mineral deposits can make paths slick.

The complex is fed by one of Central America's most powerful thermal sources, with mineral water circulating through multiple natural pools. This underground heat source keeps the water warm year-round, regardless of weather conditions.
