Grutas de Tolantongo

Mexico's most spectacular hot springs—cascading turquoise pools carved into dramatic canyon walls

🇲🇽
HidalgoCanyon microclimate with warm thermal waters year-round.

Overview

Grutas de Tolantongo is one of Mexico's most stunning natural wonders—thermal pools carved into towering canyon walls where warm, turquoise water cascades down in a series of infinity-edge pools overlooking the valley below. A river runs through the canyon floor, fed by hot springs that maintain comfortable bathing temperature year-round. This is a DAY TRIP or OVERNIGHT destination, not a residential area—no permanent housing exists.

Highlights

  • Infinity-edge thermal pools overlooking canyon
  • Cave with warm river flowing through
  • River pools at canyon floor
  • Suspension bridge and canyon views
  • Overnight camping or hotel options
