4 hot springs
Michoacán has 4 hot springs with their own page on Puebloteca, near the Pueblos Mágicos of Angangueo and Cuitzeo. The closest to a pueblo is Huandacareo, 14 km from Cuitzeo; the farthest out is Los Azufres, 44 km from Angangueo.
Most hot springs in Mexico are balnearios: family water parks built around a warm spring, with pools, slides and often camping or cabins. They fill up on weekends and holidays, so a weekday is much calmer.
Best months, when most of these towns are dry with comfortable afternoons: Jan, Mar, Apr, Nov.
