Balneario Vito, Thermal water park and hotel in Atotonilco de Tula, Mexico.
Balneario Vito is a thermal water park with hotel accommodations near Mexico City, spread across spacious grounds with multiple heated pools. The complex includes water slides, children's areas, dining options, sports courts, and landscaped green spaces all designed for recreation.
The thermal bath park was founded in 1936 by Amando Gill to make the healing benefits of the region's natural hot springs accessible to visitors. The project grew from a desire to share the therapeutic advantages of these geothermal sources with people seeking wellness.
The name Atotonilco de Tula comes from an indigenous language and means 'place where water boils', reflecting the geothermal nature of the region. Visitors today can feel the warm water from natural springs flowing into the pools.
The grounds are located roughly one hour from Mexico City and open daily to visitors throughout the day. Different admission prices apply for adults and children, and hotel rooms are available directly on the property for overnight stays.
The surrounding landscape is covered with desert vegetation including thorny shrubs, pines, agave plants, and cacti mixed with fruit trees native to Hidalgo. This mix of harsh desert plants and cultivated trees creates a surprisingly diverse natural setting.
