Discover one of the most Instagrammable natural spaces in the world on this day trip to the Grutas Tolantongo from Mexico City. You won't want to leave this paradise!

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at the Hostel Amigo in Mexico City and set off to the famous Grutas Tolantongo (Tolantongo Caves), a grotto located in the state of Hidalgo. The trip by minibus will take us approximately 4 hours.

To stretch our legs and rest, we'll make several stops, and at one of them, you can have breakfast on your own. Once we reach our destination, you'll have about 5 to 6 hours of free time to relax and enjoy this natural spa located at an altitude of nearly 4,200 ft (1,280 m). You'll be amazed from the moment we arrive!

The Gurtas Tolantongo stand out for its large canyon of 1,640 ft (500 m) tall, through which waterfalls descend to form turquoise pools with privileged views of the surrounding mountains. Here, you can also admire the characteristic vegetation such as yuccas, mesquite trees, nochebuenas, and cacti.

Walk through a tunnel nestled in the rocks, take a dip inside a cave, walk along the Tolantongo River, treat yourself to a relaxing bath in the Hidden Paradise section... There's something for everyone at the Tolantongo caves! You can also enjoy the contrast of temperatures at the waterfall with frozen water or cross a suspension bridge to admire the incredible views this dreamy grotto offers.

Finally, we'll return to the vehicle and start on our way back to Mexico City, where the day trip will conclude at the starting point after 14 hours.

Day Trip Options

During the booking process, you can choose between the following options:

Day trip without lunch: in this case, you'll follow the itinerary. This option includes round-trip transport to the caves and access to the park.
Day trip with lunch: along with the previously described option, this includes a delicious box lunch. There is also a vegetarian option! If you choose this option, you'll need to head to the café in the meeting point to pick up your lunch before boarding the bus.
