Hidden in the misty mountains, a thrilling 45-minute ride from booming Quetzaltenango among fertile slopes, Guatemalans soak themselves in the warm sulphur waters of Fuentes Georginas, a natural hot spring. People chat, laugh, swim and plaster their faces with freshly dug mud to pamper their skin. The audacious ones even drink the hot acid spring waters to fully benefit from its curing properties.
