Agua Caliente Hot Springs (Río Dulce)

15° 46.5′ N · 88° 48.7′ W

Where the gorge opens out, hot sulphur water seeps from the riverbank into small walled pools — float in the warm layer on top of the cool river, with a cave and natural sauna nearby.

Practical

Coordinate is the 'Aguas Termales' point from OpenStreetMap. Spirit of Argo anchored right off the springs; a bar-restaurant sits beside them. Cruising World describes a cave, the hot springs and a natural sauna a short dinghy ride from Cayo Quemado. Small fee may be charged.

Best for

A hot soak on the way up-river
