Embark on an unforgettable full-day escape to the natural wonders of Tolantongo and the hidden paradise of La Gloria.

This exclusive adventure goes beyond the ordinary, offering rare access to both iconic and off-the-beaten-path hot springs in one seamless journey.

Start your day with a scenic drive and relaxing breakfast. First stop: La Gloria, a sanctuary where you’ll soak in thermal pools, swim in a serene river, explore a grotto, zipline across lush valleys, and wade through a stunning canyon with waist-deep waters — ending in a deep chamber perfect for diving.

We’ll then take a brief walk (under a minute) across a bridge to reach Tolantongo’s famous grotto and geothermal tunnel, followed by a delicious locally-sourced lunch. To finish, unwind in the iconic cliffside hot pools, letting the thermal waters melt your stress away.

We provide essential loaned gear: towels, waterproof phone case, reusable water bottle, headlamp and more.

The tour was great, our driver and tour guide were amazing. We were lucky because the rest of the people that were booked moved there tour to another date. So we had them all to ourselves. The experience at the Gloria was amazing, will always recommend this tour.

What a wonderful day that was, nothing I had to worry about, breakfast, drinks, snacks, food, everything was thought. What to wear, comfortable clothes, water shoes and bathing suit (they carried a backpack with towel, light to see better in the grottos and soap, shampoo to bathe later to eat at ease and return home. Oke yes, 3 hours round trip and 3 hours back but of course to see that paradise, Steve was an amazing person with a lot of talk about Mexican culture, customs and wisdom. Thank you very much for that amazing experience.
Highly recommend for a worry free Tolantango experience

Had an amazing time, I’m so glad we booked a tour instead of trying to do it on our own. It was so worth it to have all the small details taken care of like where to leave bags, when the head lamp was needed, the temperature of various pool, etc, and know we had the inside scoop on where to go and when, since Tolantango is a big area. Liz, our Cultural Ambassador was friendly, professional, and anticipated all our needs. Our driver Santiago navigated the steep switchbacks on wet gravel expertly. Highly recommend!
Don’t miss out on Tolantongo

This was a great experience and the entire thing was very well organized. They provided clear communication to prepare us for our excursion a few days before we left, which was greatly appreciated since it was an early morning. They provided blankets which made the drive extra comfortable. The two places we stop for food were delicious. Both our driver, Steve, and our guide, Erick, were great! Erick provided was with lots of information about the Hot Springs and the communities that surround them. La Gloria was our favorite and this is the only tour that goes there. It was less crowded, but had beautiful pools of water mixed with a large waterfall that feeds into them. Tolotongo was stunning as well and had great views.
Amazing adventure

The whole tour was amazing! My visit to the Tolantongo Grottoes was an adventure I would definitely do again. It is a destination that combines natural wonder with relaxation and adventure in a unique way. I recommend it if you are looking for an escape from the routine and a deep connection with nature, plus the hosts were very friendly and our guide was exceptional

It was a very good experience, the guide was always attentive, we were picked up on time in the agreed place, the food was very delicious, I was satisfied. I had never visited Tolantongo nor the Glory but Mictlan made everything unforgettable, and the river is the most amazing thing of all! I hope I can come back later accompanied by my family.
