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.
