Balneario Aguas Termales Presidente, in Comayagua, Honduras, taps bicarbonate thermal water at 38°C. The venue offers indoor pools, sauna and massage in this central valley of the country.
Insider tip — Set in Honduras's central valley near the colonial city of Comayagua, this balneario draws on geothermal springs that surface along fault lines in the mountainous interior at around 600 meters altitude. The surrounding terrain is classic Central American highland, with pine and oak forest on the ridges and a warm dry-season climate that makes thermal bathing popular from November through April. Comayagua served as Honduras's capital for centuries before Tegucigalpa, and its 17th-century cathedral clock is one of the oldest in the Americas, making this an excellent cultural and thermal pairing.
