• Tolantongo - The day is divided into three segments.

Pool Tranquility: Begin the day by unwinding in the “pocitos,” naturally warm thermal pools offering breathtaking views that rejuvenate the body and mind—ideal for social media. From here, there is an option to zip-line down to the next part of the day at the river. Please note that zip-lining is not included in the tour price (300 Mexican pesos).

The guide will ensure all essentials for the day are provided. The drive from the breakfast stop to the pools typically takes two and a half hours. Time spent at the pools is approximately one hour and forty minutes.

• Grutas Tolantongo - Cave Exploration: Experience awe-inspiring waterfalls and unexpected adventures that guests have described as “life-changing.” Guides will lead an exploration of the caverns and tunnels. Enjoy the waterfalls cascading over the caves and swim in the warm pool inside the mountain.
• Tolantongo - River Relaxation: The turquoise-colored river is well-maintained and naturally warm due to thermal springs, offering a completely relaxing experience. Lunch will be by the river (weather permitting). Lunch is not included. A menu is provided to place orders, saving time and enhancing the river experience. The lunch total will be collected during the day unless the LUNCH COVERED OPTION ($220MXN MAX) is selected. Tables and chairs are provided. Please note that the time spent includes movement throughout the day.

Departure is planned as early as 3:30 to 5:30, depending on group efficiency and timing, with arrival as early as 7:30 to 9:30 (conditions permitting), filled with new experiences and photos to share with family and friends.
