Hierve el Agua

Location:
Oaxaca, Mexico

Adventure Tour

By Will Gray

This is a very unique place where water from hot springs tumbles down through several pools on the mountainside. Over years it has left mineral deposits that make the whole cliff look like a frozen waterfall. Unfortunately it is occasionally closed for repairs and other problems so check whether it is open before you go.

Getting There

Agencies include Turismo Panoramico, Independencia 308,  5147543, 5125475.

Traveler Reviews of Hierve el Agua

Great View

Rating: 0%

After a somewhat long hike, you get to a beautiful cliff with pools of water and a water fall. Simply stunning. However, the bus ride there was the scariest of my life, and I have been on a lot of buses in Latin America.

Not a hot spring!!

Rating: 100%

The water in this natural mineral spring is not hot! It can be rather cold. Spectatular views, lovely cabins, great people.
