Contributors: serflac

These beautiful volcanic hot springs near Quetzaltenango were nearly destroyed by recent hurricanes Mitch Stan in 1998 and 2005, and again in 2010 by Tropical Storm Agatha. Originally discovered in 1902, the cascading baths have been recently restored.

Fuentes Georginas also serves as the entrance to the municipal forest reserve with paths through the rain forest and access to Zuníl Volcano.
