Hervideros de San Jacinto, Hydrothermal vent formation in Telica, Nicaragua.

Hervideros de San Jacinto is a group of hydrothermal vents on the southeastern slope of the Telica volcano, about 25 km from León, on the western side of the village of San Jacinto. At the surface they form bubbling mud pools (solfataras) and steam columns (fumarolas). The vents were created in the 16th century by an eruption of the Santa Clara volcano and are now largely covered with vegetation.

The springs formed in the 16th century, when an eruption of the Santa Clara volcano on the southwestern side of today's Telica produced them. They now lie largely covered by vegetation on Telica's southeastern slope, about 25 km from León, west of the village of San Jacinto.

The site is run as a tourist attraction by a group of local children, who act as guides for visitors. Plans exist to develop it into a larger attraction, including building a hotel.

Wear sturdy footwear since the ground is uneven and some areas are near hot vents. Early morning visits work best to avoid intense sun and experience the steaming vents more clearly.
