Finca El Paraíso Hot Waterfall
15° 35.5′ N · 89° 12.5′ W
On Lake Izabal's north shore, a thermal waterfall about 8 m high pours hot spring water into the cool San Antonio river, so you can swim between scalding cascade and chilly pool.
Practical
Coordinate is the waterfall from OpenStreetMap. Entry about Q20 (Ministerio de Cultura listing, 2026). Reached by road (collectivo from Río Dulce toward El Estor; Cruising World) rather than by water; restaurant, camping and toilets at the finca. Pools are calmer in the dry season.
