Not only most of the houses and hotels in Tequisquiapan have a pool (outdoors and indoors), but also there’s quite an offer of spas, spring waters and water parks all around. One can camp, practice outdoor’s sports and enjoy warm thermal water springs up to 93ºF. The most famous are Fantasía Acuática, El Oasis, La Vega and Termas del Rey.

Fantasía Acuática

At the Wine and Cheese Route there are other water parks to enjoy, such as Balneario San Joaquín (Km 13 of the highway Tequisquiapan-Ezequiel Montes) and Balneario de la Vega (Fray Junípero Serra s/n, Barrio de la Magdalena, close to Tequisquiapan’s main square); they both have thermal waters.

Tequisquiapan is actually a small town that can be visited by foot; if you want to go to the water parks or the wineries nearby you will need a car.

Take Federal Highway 57 México-Querétaro. Once you pass the Palmillas tollbooth, take the exit to San Juan del Río, merging on to Federal Highway 120.

Querétaro’s Wine Route consists on visiting three vineyards –Freixenet, La Redonda and Los Azteca-, several cheese factories, two picturesque towns –Tequisquiapan and Bernal-, and a Cheese and Wine Museum. At the vineyards you can learn about the wine producing process; at the cheese factories, you will discover the process of hand making delicious cheese, and at Bernal and Tequis, you can enjoy a glass of wine and combine it with an exquisite handmade cheese.

If you go to the natural water parks, add to the trip other options from Querétaro’s semi-desert and enjoy good life.
