Tamtoc Archeological Zone & Thermal Springs

perro2

On this tour we will visit an archeological place considered until now as the most important settlement of the region where we will discover the vestiges of the Huasteca Culture at the place known as Tamtoc (place of the clouds, in Huasteco.)

This visit gives us a clear idea of the life characteristics of the first inhabitants in this area.

After living this great cultural encounter, we will enjoy and relax in the sulfurous waters of the Taninul, which is located at the foot of the Abra-Tanchipa Hill; decreed as a Protected Natural Area as a reserve for the Biosphere.

9:00 am	We depart from Ciudad Valles, rendezvous point for tourists interested in the exploration of The Huasteca Potosina region.
10:30 am	Arrival to the Tamtoc archeological site, located in the town of Tamuin, where the guide will talk to us about the site’s elements.
10:40 am	Guided tour through the archeological site. We will explore the site located by the shores of the Tampaon River while the guide talks about the Huasteca culture and the foundations and mounds they left behind.
1:00 pm	We will stay at the Taninul Hotel, where we may swim in the establishment’s thermal sulfur waters. We will also have the opportunity to exfoliate with a sulfur mud bath with the mud extracted from the bottom of the spring. The hotel’s spring contains a strong concentration of sulfur, giving it a strong smell. It should not be expected to be like a conventional swimming pool since it is a natural spring. During the rainy season the sulfur is diluted as well as the heat emanating from the spring. Between July and October we may experience different water conditions and colder temperatures.
3:00 pm	Food at the Taninul Hotel.
5:00 pm	We arrive to Ciudad Valles where each tourist will be taken back to their respective hotel.
