Agua Caliente Park in Aldea Agua Caliente, Santa Cruz El Chol, Baja Verapaz, Guatemala, is a community thermal park drawing on bicarbonate mineral springs in the dry valley landscape of the Sierra de Chuacús, offering accessible natural bathing facilities in a remote area of central Guatemala far from the tourist circuits of Antigua and Atitlán. The springs emerge from geological formations shaped by the complex tectonic setting of Central America, where the Caribbean, Cocos, and North American plates interact to produce seismic activity, volcanic chains, and scattered geothermal features. Agua Caliente Park serves local Guatemalan communities in the Baja Verapaz region, reflecting the grassroots tradition of community-managed natural thermal resources that characterises Guatemala's geothermal cultural heritage beyond the internationally known volcanic thermal resorts.
