Guadalupe Canyon Hot Springs, Hot springs in Sierra de Juárez, Baja California, Mexico

Guadalupe Canyon Hot Springs is a geothermal site in the Sierra de Juárez where natural hot water emerges from several openings and flows into rock-lined pools. Granite boulders and palm trees frame the landscape, creating a desert oasis fed by underground thermal activity.

The springs lie in the Cañón de Guadalupe, on the eastern slope of the Sierra de Juárez near Mexicali, Baja California. The Cucapá people used the thermal water for many years before later settlers arrived. The site is now private land and charges an entrance fee.

The springs were used for years by Cucapá indigenous people before later settlers arrived. In nearby rock shelters visitors can see petroglyphs and dozens of rock art figures, and a cave used by ancient indigenous peoples. The site is private and charges an entrance fee.

Access is via 28 km of Federal Highway 2 toward Tijuana, then a 52 km dirt road south through the Laguna Salada area; an experienced guide is recommended. The site is private and charges an entry fee. Avoid summer, when 45–50 °C heat has caused deaths and lost visitors, including soldiers on exercises.

The canyon lies at the eastern foot of the Sierra de Juárez, near the western end of Laguna Salada, and a stream still runs through it, so cold and hot water appear almost side by side. Upstream, small natural pools form in the streambed. The site is reached by 28 km on Federal Highway 2 and then 52 km of dirt road.
