Overview

The day begins with a nice breakfast buffet to prepare the needed energy for the day's activities.

After that, there will be water activities all day. We start the tour with the warm pools that have been etched onto the mountainside, later proceeding down to the turquoise thermal river for a relaxing lunch along its banks. After lunch, we will jump into the warm waters of the river before transitioning to the glorious waterfalls and caves. Before entering the caves, we will admire the view of the waterfalls that guard the natural caves we will be exploring. In the caves, we will use our lamps to walk through the warm waters extruding from within, explore the interior waterfalls, and observe the origin point of the waters that give Tolantongo its name. Tolantongo, meaning "place of warm moving water," will prove to give you an experience in Mexico unlike any other. (River and cave exploration are contingent on good weather in days before allowing for an optimal experience).
