Finca El Paraíso Hot Spring Waterfall

Finca El Paraíso is one of Guatemala's most unusual and spectacular natural attractions: a hot thermal waterfall at around 55°C that plunges from a cliff into the cold waters of a jungle pool at the edge of Lake Izabal, Central America's largest lake. The result is a natural Jacuzzi effect where the two temperatures mix in the cave-like pool beneath the falls. The setting in the tropical lowlands of Izabal Department — with jungle-covered hillsides, howler monkeys, and the turquoise waters of Lake Izabal — makes this one of the most memorable hot spring experiences in Central America.
