Hierve el Agua

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.

Location:
Oaxaca, Mexico

Not a hot spring!!

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

Great View

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.
