Yes, and a towel — bring both for the thermal pool stop.
It's genuine mineral-rich geothermal water, drawn from the same volcanic field that feeds Pacaya itself, not heated tap water. The complex has around a dozen pools at different temperatures, and the traditional way to use them is a thermal circuit — moving between pools of varying heat, a practice locally associated with easing muscle soreness and stress.

About This Tour

This private tour pairs the Pacaya Volcano hike with a soak at the Santa Teresita thermal spa, letting you ascend at your own pace with your private guide before relaxing in warm mineral waters. Your private guide leads the Pacaya Volcano hike at your own pace, with the undivided attention that a shared group tour doesn't offer. The day finishes with a stop at the Santa Teresita Thermal Spa for a soak in warm mineral pools.

The Santa Teresita thermal complex sits in Amatitlán, about 40 minutes outside Guatemala City, and its pools are fed by real geothermal water drawn from the same volcanic field that powers Pacaya itself — this isn't heated municipal water, but genuine mineral-rich springs warmed underground. The site has around a dozen separate pools, each kept at a different temperature, and the traditional way to use them is as a thermal circuit: moving between pools of varying heat for short stretches of time, a practice locally associated with easing muscle soreness, improving circulation, and relieving complaints like arthritis and tendonitis.

Getting there means first climbing Pacaya, one of the more consistently active volcanoes in Central America, with roughly 55 recorded eruptions since 1900 — though on most days now it sits at a quieter, fumarole-heavy state rather than flowing lava. The hike itself crosses genuine hardened lava fields on the way toward the roughly 2,552-meter summit area, with clear-day views that can take in the dormant Agua and Acatenango volcanoes alongside the almost-always-active Fuego nearby.

Pairing the two makes practical sense beyond just convenience: both sites draw on the same underlying volcanic geology, so the warm mineral water at the end of the hike is, in a real sense, powered by the same geothermal system you just spent the morning climbing.
