Insider tip — Set in the western Honduran highlands near the colonial city of Gracias and the flanks of Celaque, the country's highest peak, these thermal springs flow through forested mountain terrain at a soothing 42 degrees. The sulfurous water, lightly tinged with minerals from volcanic subsoil, fills several natural pools shaded by tropical trees. The site pairs naturally with a visit to the nearby Celaque National Park, where cloud forest trails lead to Honduras's rooftop. Local families from Gracias use the springs on weekends as a communal gathering point after hiking.
