Tequisquiapan

Drenched in sun, bougainvillea, and flowering trees, Tequis (as the locals call it) was once famed for its restorative thermal waters. Nowadays, however, the town has experienced a dearth of hot water, reportedly due to a local paper mill's extreme water consumption. As tourism has declined along with the warm-water levels, many spas have turned into recreation areas with swimming pools. That said, Tequis gets crowded on weekends. Check with the tourist office at Andador Independencia 1 on Plaza Miguel Hidalgo for directions to the spas; most are outside of town. Trolleybus tours are offered throughout the day from Plaza Santa Cecilia.
