  Welcome to Tolantongo!!! :D The pools are the first place we’ll visit, where we’ll stay for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Your host will let you know the meeting point when it’s time to meet up. If you'd like to do the zip line, you must be at the meeting point 10 to 15 minutes before the time at the hot springs is over. Your host will provide the exact time, which depends on the number of travelers that day. He will guide you to the location and give you the necessary instructions to meet with the rest of the group and the host once you’ve finished the zip line route. The zip line costs $300 MXN per person, with a minimum weight of 35 kg (77 lb) and a maximum of 93 kg (205 lb). Whether you choose to do the zip line or not, everyone must meet the host at the indicated meeting point to continue to the next location together.

  At this stop, you’ll have the opportunity to try pastes, a typical dish from the state of Hidalgo, especially from the regions of Real del Monte and Pachuca. Pastes are oven-baked turnovers filled with a variety of savory and sweet ingredients. This iconic dish was introduced to Mexico in the 19th century, around 1824, by English miners from Cornwall. The miners brought with them the custom of eating the "Cornish pasty," a turnover filled with meat or vegetables, which became a staple food for mine workers. To this day, pastes remain very popular.
