This is a unique shore excursion from Quetzal Guatemala that blends sightseeing with a day visit to the Pacaya volcano thermal springs SPA! A thermal circuit of 12 pools, lunch, and round-trip air-conditioned transportation is included.
Your fun and exciting day excursion will start right outside the Quetzal cruise ship terminal where the federally certified, English-speaking staff will meet you, get you checked in, and then escort you to the waiting air-conditioned transportation. Your drive through the lush Guatemalan countryside is both beautiful and educational as your guide will give you information about your day, the history and background of the country, and culture. Your drive to the thermal springs spa is about 1 hour. Transportation will be either a van or bus depending on the size of your group.
Located in the shadows of the Pacaya volcano, the Santa Teresita Thermal SPA is your destination. You will be treated to a day of relaxation! As a special exclusive package, our guests will not only have a spa entrance fee included but also have access to the 12 thermal pools, the swimming pool, and much more amenities. There is even a special children's pool with fountains and a play area.
Each of our guests will be given a towel to use while they are visiting the property. All will receive a freshly made fruit smoothie. The use of spa lockers is also included so your belongings will be secure while you relax. But wait, it gets even better! Our guests will also receive their choice of lunch with options including fish, chicken, or beef. Guests may choose to purchase additional food and beverages at their expense.
Guests may also choose to add on other spa services for an extra cost - inquire on-site upon your arrival.
Your guide and transportation will take you back to the cruise pier at the end of your memorable, relaxing day excursion to Santa Teresita Hot Spring.

Thermal Circuit
This therapy consists in immersing the body for short periods of time in thermal water pools of different temperatures, going from hot to cold. The cycle starts with a pool at 105.8F, followed by another at 75.2F, then with one at 98.6F, and finally with one at 87.8F.
Benefits:
- Temperature changes improve blood circulation because the body does what is known as vascular gymnastics: the heat dilates blood vessels and the cold contracts them.
- Relaxes all the body muscles, eliminating stress.
- It's ideal for people suffering of sciatic nerve pains, tendinitis, arthritis, muscle pains, insomnia problems, or is recovering after an accident or operation.
