Termas de Granada, in Granada department, Nicaragua, taps sulfurous water at 42°C in an open-air pool suited to wild bathing, near the shores of Lake Nicaragua, the country's largest lake.
Insider tip — Found on the volcanic flanks near Lake Nicaragua close to colonial Granada, these geothermal springs are fed by the Mombacho Volcano hydrothermal system. The sulfurous water is distinctly warm and mineral-laden, popular with Nicaraguan families who make weekend trips from the city. Granada itself, with its colourful Spanish colonial architecture and lakeside setting, provides excellent context for a thermal visit. Arrive before 9 am on weekdays for solitude; afternoons can be busy with school groups and day-trippers.
