    About Balneario Santa Isabel

    Santa Isabel is a spring-fed balneario in the municipality of Tlaltizapan de Zapata, on the Yautepec-Jojutla federal highway at kilometre 20, in the Bonifacio Garcia neighbourhood (the Yumping directory puts it in colonia Alejandra). It lies about 6 km north of Tlaltizapan town in a straight line, in southern Morelos.

    The draw is the springs. An El Universal piece explains that the spring water comes out cold and fills the pools too, which therefore feel a little warmer because the sun heats them and the water does not flow constantly. The main pool has three depths (50 cm, 80 cm and 1.60 m), there is a 70 cm pool and a splash area for children, and the springs themselves run between 60 cm and 3 m deep. There are also slides, green areas, fixed grills, changing rooms and showers, parking, a medical service, a camping zone and cabins. Boat rides cost extra, and some weekend nights have open-air movies.

    It opens every day from 9:00 to 18:00, per El Universal and a Tus Buenas Noticias article from May 2025. General admission was 180 pesos in that article (150 for children 90 cm to 1.25 m); other sources record 150 and 100 pesos, so prices shift with the season. To check on the day, the balneario lists WhatsApp 734 116 2098 and phone 734 341 5193.

    How to get to Balneario Santa Isabel

    Drive from Cuautla: 40 min, 32 km

    Santa Isabel is on the Yautepec-Jojutla federal highway at kilometre 20, in the Bonifacio Garcia neighbourhood of the municipality of Tlaltizapan de Zapata, about 6 km north of the centre of Tlaltizapan (straight line) and roughly 21 km straight-line from Cuautla.

    By car from Mexico City, take the Mexico-Cuernavaca toll highway toward Yautepec and then the Yautepec-Jojutla road; El Universal estimates 176 pesos in tolls one way to Jojutla (SCT's Traza tu Ruta app) and guides give 2 to almost 3 hours from the capital depending on traffic. From the centre of Tlaltizapan, one guide describes heading north on Allende to Independencia and continuing toward the Ticuman bypass on route MOR 2.

    By bus, Pullman de Morelos runs from the Terminal Sur (Taxqueña) to Jojutla for roughly 205 pesos one way per El Universal; in Jojutla you take a combi that goes straight to the balneario. Because the last stretch can change, confirm by WhatsApp (734 116 2098) before leaving.
