Grutas de Tolantongo Hidalgo, qué hacer y cómo llegar
Las Grutas de Tolantongo son un parque ecoturístico famoso por sus pozas de agua termal, en este video te decimos todo lo que necesitas saber para visitarlo y aprovecharlo al máximo.
*Grutas de Tolantongo
Están en la Sierra del Estado de Hidalgo, se caracterizan por tener un rio de agua termal color turqueza que desde hace siglos se le conoce como Tolantongo que quiere decir, lugar donde se siente calorsito
*Cómo llegar a las Grutas de Tolantongo
-Desde la ciudad de México hay que tomar la carretera hacia Pachuca, de ahí desviarse hacia Actopan y seguir rumbo a Ixmiquilpan, ya en ese pueblo, tomar la desviación hacia las Grutas de Tolantongo, pero hay que tener cuidado y no manejar de noche pues el último tramo hacia el parque puede ser peligroso si no hay luz.
*Cómo llegar a Tolantongo en avión
El aeropuerto más cercano a Tolantongo es:
Aeropuerto Nacional de Pachuca (PCA)
Para conseguir vuelos económicos a Pachuca visita:
*Qué hacer en las Grutas de Tolantongo
-Aquí hay varias actividades recreativas para toda la familia, nosotros te recomendamos realizar el siguiente recorrido:
1.- Relajarte temprano en las pozas termales del Hotel Paraíso Esconido.
2.-Pasar por el puente colgante y regresar por el tunel de vapor.
3.-Desayunar en la cocina económica Paraiso.
4.-Visitar las Grutas y el el segundo tunel dentro de la Cascada Tolantongo.
5.-Disfrutar la tarde nadando en el río termal.
6.-Comer antojitos en las fondas de los hoteles
7.-Hacer una fogata y pasar la noche mirando las estrellas.
También hay toboganes, piscinas y el parque cuenta con la tirolesa más larga de Hidalgo, sin embargo no hicimos esas actividades por que nos dedicamos a relajarnos y se nos pasó el tiempo.
*Como tips recuerden:
-Llevar dinero en efectivo, ya que no se aceptan tarjetas en Tolantongo.
-Usar Zapátos acuáticos dentro de las Pozas, las Grutas y el río.
-Respetar los horarios y seguir las indicaciones del staff.

Get your free report on Mexico here:
Glynna Prentice, International Living's Mexico editor is in Dolores Hidalgo in the Colonial Highlands of central Mexico.
This town is Mexico's cradle of independence, since Mexico's war of independence against Spain began here in 1810. For this reason it's a big tourist destination among Mexicans. Today Dolores Hidalgo is known for its beautiful ceramic tile--there are many tile factories in the area--and for its ice cream, which comes in every flavor imaginable...bacon ice cream, anyone?
