The thermal water park ideal for going with the whole family is 15 minutes from San Miguel de Allende, has discounts for retirees and children on tickets
San Miguel de Allende is one of the most beautiful and visited cities in Mexico. Its colonial architecture, its gastronomy and its cultural offer make it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. But in addition to its historical and artistic attractions, the surroundings of San Miguel de Allende also offer natural wonders, such as the thermal water park La Gruta.
La Gruta is a complex of pools and gardens fed by natural hot springs that emerge from the depths of the earth. The water temperature ranges from 36°C to 40°C, depending on the season and the pool. The park has four pools of different sizes and depths, as well as a tunnel that leads to a cave where a waterfall falls.
The thermal water park is open every day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the entrance fee is 250 pesos (about 12 dollars) for adults and 200 pesos (about 10 dollars) for children. Retirees and people with disabilities have a 50% discount. The park also has a restaurant, a spa, a shop and a parking lot. It is recommended to bring a swimsuit, a towel, sunscreen and a hat.
La Gruta is located 15 minutes by car from the center of San Miguel de Allende, on the road to Dolores Hidalgo. It is also possible to get there by public transport, taking a bus from the central bus station or a taxi from the main square. The park is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the benefits of the thermal water, which is said to have healing properties for the skin, the muscles and the nervous system.
La Gruta is not the only thermal water park in the area. There are other options, such as Escondido Place, Taboada and Xote, which also offer pools, gardens and services for visitors. However, La Gruta stands out for its natural beauty, its tranquility and its family atmosphere. It is an ideal complement to a visit to San Miguel de Allende, one of the most charming cities in Mexico.
