Grutas Tolantongo Day Trip

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), located in Hidalgo. The trip by minibus takes approximately 4 hours.

To stretch and rest, we'll make several stops, including one for breakfast on your own. Upon arrival, you'll have about 5 to 6 hours of free time to relax and enjoy this natural spa at an altitude of nearly 4,200 ft (1,280 m).

The Grutas Tolantongo features a large canyon of 1,640 ft (500 m) tall, with waterfalls flowing into turquoise pools and views of the mountains. You'll see characteristic vegetation such as yuccas, mesquite trees, nochebuenas, and cacti.

You can walk through a tunnel nestled in the rocks, dip inside a cave, stroll along the Tolantongo River, or relax in the Hidden Paradise section. Enjoy the temperature contrast at the waterfall with frozen water or cross a suspension bridge to take in the views.

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