Tolantongo Canyon, Natural canyon in Hidalgo, Mexico
The canyon features limestone walls rising 500 meters high, with thermal springs emerging from caves and flowing into the Tolantongo River.
Indigenous communities have utilized these thermal waters for centuries, with the first modern development of the site occurring in the 1970s.
The canyon represents a meeting point for local families who gather at the thermal pools during weekends to share traditional Mexican meals.
The site includes three hotel complexes, camping areas, restaurants, medical services, and parking facilities for visitors throughout the year.
Water temperature in the thermal pools maintains a constant 38°C due to volcanic activity beneath the limestone formations.
