Santa Teresita is a hotel and spa offering thermal pools heated from the volcano Pacaya. Wasn’t it fitting that we would ease our weary bones at this lovely oasis. 
We bought a package that included the use of the pools, the thermal circuit, towels, and a 75 minute couples massage using volcanic rocks.
The first stop was the thermal circuit. It was wonderful entering the 105 degree pool for 10 minutes, and we had to submerge our heads every minute, but then we had to go into the 75 degree pool. Holy cow was that cold. Bruce being from Maine seemed to get in much quicker then me. Each inch on my body sent shudders up my spine. After a very slow start I finally made it in and then begrudgingly I put my entire head under. And I was paying to do this. Yikes!
10 minutes and next stop was 95 degrees and then another 10 and 85. I could feel my legs tingly when I went from one pool to the other. All of this is supposed to ease muscle aches but also help with circulation.
Then back into the 105 degree pool. Unfortunately, we ended in the cold pool. But the second time around it seemed easier. And I was able to dunk my head under – no problemo.
We had lunch with a couple, Deborah and Corey, whom we met on the shuttle to Santa Teresita. I ate a salad which was wonderful. Unfortunately, I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. But it had avocado, hearts of palm, tomatoes, mixed greens, olives, and chicken. Yummy. Lunch finished we were off to our massage. Bruce was not looking forward to it because he doesn’t like massages, but the hot stones made him a convert. What a wonderful way to spend a day.
We forgot to take take a selfie as well, but I took a picture of Deborah and Corey as we waited in the massage waiting area.
It was a lovely spa day and hopefully we will get a chance to go here again. The total cost to do all that including lunch and tips was $86 per person. What a deal!
