Balneario Los Pinos

Balneario Los Pinos in the Intibucá Department of western Honduras is a bicarbonate mineral spring resort set in the cool pine-forested highlands of the Lenca cultural heartland, offering visitors a thermal bathing experience embedded within one of Honduras's most important indigenous cultural landscapes. The Intibucá highlands are home to the Lenca people, Honduras's most numerous indigenous group, whose traditions, crafts, and cosmology are inseparable from the mountain landscape that surrounds Los Pinos' mineral springs. The cool mountain climate, fragrant pine forests, and gentle bicarbonate waters of Balneario Los Pinos create a refreshing highland wellness retreat that reflects the distinctive character of Honduras's western mountain culture, far from the country's Pacific and Caribbean coastal tourism circuits.
