Welcome to Tolantongo!!! :D
The pools are the first place we’ll visit, where we’ll stay for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Your host will let you know the meeting point when it’s time to meet up. If you'd like to do the zip line, you must be at the meeting point 10 to 15 minutes before the time at the hot springs is over. Your host will provide the exact time, which depends on the number of travelers that day. He will guide you to the location and give you the necessary instructions to meet with the rest of the group and the host once you’ve finished the zip line route.
The zip line costs $300 MXN per person, with a minimum weight of 35 kg (77 lb) and a maximum of 93 kg (205 lb).
Whether you choose to do the zip line or not, everyone must meet the host at the indicated meeting point to continue to the next location together.
It’s lunch time! :)
[Lunch and drinks are not included.]
Here you can enjoy your food and drinks. Your host will be attentive, providing reminders about what we’ll need based on the next destination. Once you’ve finished, get ready to explore the cave and grotto!
We’ll spend approximately 1 hour in the cave and grotto, due to the rules and recommendations of the place. Get ready for the "challenge." Honestly, photos and videos don’t do it justice; you need to experience it for yourself!
After exploring the cave and grotto, it’s time to unwind and relax by the stunning river of Tolantongo. Once the time is up, you’ll have the opportunity to shower and get ready to leave Tolantongo. After this entire adventure, you’ll have new content to share on your social media. :D
At this stop, you’ll have the opportunity to try pastes, a typical dish from the state of Hidalgo, especially from the regions of Real del Monte and Pachuca. Pastes are oven-baked turnovers filled with a variety of savory and sweet ingredients. This iconic dish was introduced to Mexico in the 19th century, around 1824, by English miners from Cornwall. The miners brought with them the custom of eating the "Cornish pasty," a turnover filled with meat or vegetables, which became a staple food for mine workers. To this day, pastes remain very popular.
We’ll finally be heading back to our meeting point in Mexico City.
The estimated arrival time may vary depending on traffic. It’s expected to be around 9:30 p.m., though this may change depending on your group’s departure time.
Before getting off the transportation, your host will remind you to check that you haven’t left anything behind, either on or under your seat.
At the end, please leave your blanket on top of the seat headrest.
Thank you for joining us! We hope you enjoyed this adventure! :D
Your host will be waiting in front of the meeting point along with the transportation and driver. The live location will be shared via the WhatsApp group too.
