Aguas Termales Don Alfonso is a natural thermal spring facility in the Germán Pomares area of Nueva Segovia Department, northern Nicaragua, where chloride-rich hot springs are used in a small bathing complex offering affordable mineral water therapy in the agricultural highland landscape of one of Nicaragua's most historically significant revolutionary regions. The facility serves local communities in the Nueva Segovia mountains as a recreational and health-maintaining resource, reflecting the Nicaraguan tradition of valuing natural thermal springs as democratic public health resources accessible to all social classes. The springs' setting in the Segovias — a name deeply associated with Augusto César Sandino, the revolutionary leader who fought US occupation from these very mountains in the 1920s–30s — gives even simple natural thermal sites in this region a historical resonance bound to Nicaragua's national identity and anti-imperialist political tradition.
