Termales de Pavana in the Choluteca region of Honduras are bicarbonate and sodium-rich hot springs in the southern Pacific lowlands of the country, a landscape of dry tropical forest, cattle ranching, and the Gulf of Fonseca that defines the southern Honduran coast shared with El Salvador and Nicaragua. The springs provide a natural thermal resource in a region of Honduras less visited by international tourists than the Copán ruins or the Bay Islands, but deeply embedded in the daily life and agricultural culture of southern Honduran communities. Pavana's mineral waters, emerging from the geological formations underlying the Central American volcanic arc, offer a genuine rural Honduran thermal experience in the country's often-overlooked Pacific lowland interior.
