11 hot springs · within 60 km

There are 11 hot springs within 60 km of Cuautla in a straight line, an hour or a little more by road. The closest is Balneario Agua Hedionda, 2 km away; the farthest, Balneario Axocopan, is 51 km. They are listed under the Pueblos Mágicos of Atlixco and Tlayacapan, which make good bases.

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, Feb, Mar, Dec.
