Overview

The day begins with a nice breakfast buffet to prepare for the needed energy for the days activities. After that it will be water activities all day. We start the tour with the warm pools that have been etched onto the mountain side, later proceeding down to the turquoise thermal river for a relaxing lunch along its banks. After lunch, we will jump in to 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 it's 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 prior to allow for an optimal experience).

An exquisite day trip

Published on Dec, 2024

The pools are only about 85 to 90°, so not very hot, but beautiful and relaxing. The place is very clean. The caves are incredible and they are very warm. It is a very long trip from San Miguel de Allende. 3 1/2 hours each way. However our guide, Diego, was amazing. He coordinated everything perfect perfectly.

Experience of a lifetime…. Do it.

Christian was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He gave us history on the towns, and was very hospitable. We have an amazing adventure.

Grutas Tolantango

Published on Nov, 2024

We went to Grutas Tolantango from San Miguel de Allende and had such an amazing time! Although it was a long drive, we stopped for a lovely breakfast along the way and the scenery was beautiful. When we arrived, we got to relax for a few hours in the pools along the mountainside, then our guide, Christian, took us inside the caves and in the river. It was a truly amazing experience from the beautiful natural hot springs to our wonderful guide who had a vast knowledge of the local history and culture. We are already planning our next trip! Thank you so much for the amazing experience Christian!

A memorable, exciting day

Published on Nov, 2024

I was looking for a walking tour of San Miguel when I found this tour of Tolantongo. It was four hours one way in the car, but it was well worth it. We had a fantastic day. Our guide, Diego, picked us up right on time. Albeit in kind of an odd place in San Miguel, but we were on the road and off to an early start. Including me, there were four of us in our group. We started our day at the Hot Springs, then made our way to the cave and the waterfall, had lunch, and finished up in the river. We saw some bats in the cave and took some cool pictures and videos. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Each place we were at, I wanted more time. , Diego was fun to talk to, kept us on schedule, and described where to be and when and how long we had at each place. There are some places in Tolantongo where you can camp, and I hope to return to do that in the future. This is a day well worth the time in the car and the cost. You will not forget it anytime soon.
