Many people know the Tolantongo Caves, and while they are beautiful, this article isn’t about that place—it’s about La Gloria Tolantongo: a spa with hot springs and crystal-clear waterfalls that will become your new destination to discover, plus admission is 80 pesos cheaper.
Located in the municipality of Cardonal, in the state of Hidalgo, this ecotourism park will let nature be your host as you relax and completely unwind among hot springs, waterfalls, and turquoise waters.
“El Corazón de la Gloria” is a spring of crystal-clear waters where all the magic of the place begins. It’s a must-see, but if you’re looking for something more relaxing, visit “El Baño del Licenciado”: a three-meter-high thermal waterfall that feeds a beautiful turquoise pool.
Among the attractions are also the Cola de Caballo waterfall and the favorite: a thermal river.

How much is admission to the La Gloria Tolantongo spa?
General admission costs $150. Note that access via the Puente de Tolantongo route costs $150; this is a new route that will save you about an hour. You can view the map here.
This is a spa resort with lodging
If you want to extend your visit, you can spend the night in one of its rooms, with rates ranging from $1,000 to $1,200, though it also offers camping and tent rentals.

If you’re planning your next weekend getaway, La Gloria Tolantongo offers the perfect balance between accessibility and natural beauty. Don’t forget to bring water shoes and arrive early to enjoy the tranquility of the spring before anyone else. Your relaxation is guaranteed!
