Worth the detour from Palmillas

3 notable places within an hour's drive.

natural wonder

Grutas Tolantongo

A Hidalgo canyon where thermal springs pour out of the cliff into dozens of stacked turquoise infinity pools, plus a steaming cave and a tunnel that showers hot water from its walls. The access road is a spectacular switchback descent.

landmark

Mineral del Monte (Real del Monte)

Hidalgo's "Little Cornwall" at 2,700 m: red-roofed houses, a Cornish cemetery whose graves face England, and 30 bakeries selling pastes, the Mexican descendant of the Cornish pasty.

55 km · about 65 min drive

museum

Museo Nacional del Virreinato

A vast former Jesuit college at Tepotzotlán whose Church of San Francisco Javier holds Mexico's most overwhelming set of gilded Churrigueresque altarpieces: a wall-to-wall gold explosion, plus colonial art across the cloisters.
