Nestled among the majestic mountains of the state of Hidalgo, you can find several hot springs that, near a ghost town, have become an authentic natural paradise that combines relaxation, adventure and great scenic beauty. This destination, located in the municipality of Zimapán, is a perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature.
The hot springs of Xajhá are known for their therapeutic properties thanks to their high mineral content and average temperature of 38 °C. Immersing yourself in these waters is not only a delight for the senses, but also a balm for the body, helping to relax muscles, relieve stress and improve circulation.
These waters, located near the ghost town of Zimapán, also known as Mineral de San Antonio, is a fascinating place located in the municipality of Zimapán, in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.
This mining town had its heyday in the 18th and early 19th centuries, when mineral extraction, especially silver, was the economic engine of the region. However, over time, the mines were exhausted and the population abandoned the place, turning it into an uninhabited site that today attracts lovers of history, nature and the supernatural.
In addition, the natural environment is simply impressive: surrounded by mountains and vegetation, the resort offers panoramic views that invite tranquility and introspection. The Tula River, which runs through the region, adds a special touch with its crystalline current and soft murmur that make this outdoor experience a delight for the senses.
For adventure lovers, the municipality of Zimapán does not disappoint. Among the tourism and activity options that can be practiced in the region are various: from zip-line rides that cross the river, hiking around the surroundings, or even motorcycle rides through the rock formations that decorate the landscape.

Another unmissable activity is the adventure of entering the cave of the place, a shallow place where you can marvel at the internal formation of the mountain that offers you a unique perspective of the canyon and the landscape in general.
