Now that summer is present, many persons are looking for places that allow them to rest and enjoy a good swim. Without having to travel long distances, the different pools in the town of Amatitlán can be one of your choices.

From the Central Park in Amatitlán, facing the northeast, you can see a stone construction that resembles an ancient tower. This detail is a key spot for any person who wishes to go to the Santa Teresita Bathing Resort.

When you get in, you breathe a change in the atmosphere that helps you relax from the tension that daily life produces.

The first sight is a pool designed inside a cave, with the vapor coming out, letting you know the temperature of the water.

This spa has a great tradition among the locals; it offers the service of pools, thermal baths, Turkish baths, and tub baths with high concentration of sulfur in the water. It also has terraces for those who want to take advantage of the sun and get a tan.

Another destiny to enjoy the place is the Rocarena Spa. You get there through an unpaved road that is well signaled, and it intersects the street that leads to La Gloria Bridge. This place is known for its wide pools with water rides and springboards. It also has a gym, cafeteria and restaurant.

The architecture of the Santa Teresita Spa gives the feeling of being far away from the city.

On the other hand, the thermal baths located on the exit that connects to Villa Canales, are also an alternative on this town. These use the sulfur deposits found in Amatitlán's subsoil which produce hot water that generates vapor. For those who choose this activity, it is recommended to take your own towels and bath articles.

Finally, if you wish to enjoy the water but without being inside it, there is the possibility of taking a boat ride. Different types of embarkations are found along the dock, from those that have paddles for four persons, to motorboats with capacity for 15 persons. On weekends it is possible to rent jet skies.

Summer time motivates searching for activities near water, and Amatitlán hides in its valley many surprises for the tourist.
