Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tolantongo is a box canyon and resort located 17 kilometers from Ixmiquilpan on Route 27 in the Mezquital Valley, State of Hidalgo in Mexico, It is about 1.5 hours northeast of Pachuca and 198 km or three-to-four hours northeast of Mexico City. The closest village to the resort is called El Cardenal and it is part of the El Cardenal municipality. The resort is made up of three hotel complexes and heated pools near the bottom of a steep box canyon that has walls as many as 500 meters high. Its main attraction is two grottos at the canyon's closed end, out of which flows a small volcanically-heated river which follows the canyon floor. The large grotto chamber is about half the size of a tennis court with a ceiling of up to ten meters. Above the grotto is a "tunnel", a small cavern 15 meters deep in which warm water showers those who venture inside. Around these two openings, warm waterfalls flow down the steep canyon walls Here visitors can practice hiking, rappelling and spelunking.
