The Rio Caliente Spa is the only true hot springs spa left in Mexico.  The streams of Rio Caliente are fed from an underground volcanic lake and temperatures can reach as high as 157 degrees F.  The water has an extremely high alkaline content and is known to possess amazing healing powers.  It is a great getaway from all the everyday stressors of a modern life style at a very reasonable price.  A New Age atmosphere that embraces all aspects of naturalistic health methods is very healing and rejuvenating.  It is a spiritual journey that addresses the issues of the mind and the body, looking to put a new balance in a guest’s life.
