Las Grutas de Tolantongo, Hidalgo, Mexico
Soaking in the view
The rock pools that spill over this slope resemble natural travertine formations – and indeed, they're fed by warm springs that have trickled down these valley walls for millennia. But the Grutas (Grottoes) de Tolantongo resort is largely human-made, developed in the 1970s by local farmers who resolved to transform this untravelled Hidalgo hollow into a tourism destination. In addition to dozens of relaxing pools with transfixing views, visitors can head to the valley floor for a cool dip in the Tolantongo River, a mineral-rich flow shrouded by the tree canopy below.
