Los Vahos is a place about 3 km outside of Xela, where people can go into private steam bath rooms. The nearby volcano produces the steam, and they have it coming out of vents in tiny little rooms, with a ton of eucalyptus branches. Each steam room also has a larger dressing room area with some wooden benches/beds. The cost for us 5 adults to enter was about $12. But we did have to hike up 45 minutes of steep mountain-hill.
As much as I struggled for breath on the steep parts, I will say that the view was gorgeous. We could see the city of Xela, and the farmland and houses nearby. Some of the farms were actually growing flowers, which made the view even more picturesque.
By the time we left, we hitched a ride (for a small fee) with another family traveling down. The car was an old SUV, whose lights kept turning on and off, which was terrifying on the neglected dirt road at night time. I closed my eyes more than once!
