Highlight of my trip in Mexico! Much needed time in the thermal waters after a busy week in Mexico City. Also, got to enjoy the many cold waterfalls. It was a perfectly beautiful mix of hot and cold waterfalls. Enough space for everybody. Mario, the tour guide was amazing! He is very fun and willing to guide us through the hidden places. He is also very professional and experienced. I truly recommend him.

Danny was a great driver. Efficient and very little wait times, if any. Rodrigo was also amazing. Made the group feel like family and connected us to each other throughout the trip which is hard to do for large groups like this. Also made some new international friends along the way! Shout out to Lupita and Felipe! But best of all, was the FOOD! Great Barbacoa to start the trip and much more along the way. Beautiful sights, great food, great people, what more can you ask for? (P.S. this is a very popular location for locals to bring their families, definitely make sure there is not a national holiday in Mexico during your trip to avoid the crowds.
