Sapoapa
An oasis of crystal-clear waters
25 North Avenue, San Rafael Neighborhood
About Sapoapa
Sapoapa (whose name in Nahuatl means "river of zapotes") is not your typical artificial water park. Here, the water springs directly from underground volcanic sources. What’s the result? Water that is as crystal clear as it is icy, constantly renewed in a natural way.

Brief History
Few tourist destinations can boast of having refreshed entire generations for over two hundred years. Documented as a public space since 1815, Sapoapa has witnessed the transformation of Santa Ana from the colonial era to modern times. Its lush trees providing generous shade and its cobblestone paths guard the secrets of thousands of travelers who, century after century, have sought refuge from the warm climate of the western part of the country.
