Worth it?
Early risers will enjoy Tolantongo most. One creator's tip is to be there at 5:00 AM to beat the crowds for the tour van, which tells you how busy it gets. The reward is tiered thermal pools on the cliffside, a cave and tunnel system with warm water, a river and a large canyon waterfall. Bring enough cash, because payments are cash only.
