Agua Caliente is a municipality in the Chalatenango department of El Salvador.
language used: Spanish
A small town in the Department of Chalatenango. Considered the HUB in the region since anyone going to smaller pueblitos usually go through Agua Caliente. The name literally means "Hot Springs", and it's not a surprise since there are indeed hot springs in the area. When you visiting, as you drive into the Town, the 'hot springs" lake is located on the northern part of the town as you are leaving. Go ahead and stop by, dip your hands in the water. Just make sure that you leave your vehicle or horse off to the side of the road, as there are always trucks and buses heading out, and of course you don't want to block them. A very frienly town where you can see life being lived with a smile. Don't forget to say goodbye with "Salud" (Health) instead of "Bye" (Adios). The church, which has a painting of Monseñor Romero (by Juan Ramon Recinos), is located in the middle of the pueblo. Most people have fair skin (they are not really dark). Every Thursday is when there is "el mercado". There are stands of food, clothes, CDs, etc. Every March there is also what is called "La Fiesta", similar to local fairs. There are rides, food, and lots of fun.
