Grutas de Tolantongo

Grutas de Tolantongo is a worker owned eco-resort in the State of Hidalgo. Tolantongo is situated in a spectacular box canyon where a thermal river flows from the side of a mountain. Working together, the campesinos have built warm infinity pools to relax in, hotel and cabin facilities for visitors to stay in, and hiking trails and a zip line for the more adventurous. This popular democratically run resort has raised the living standards of the local people and is inspiring many with a way forward for Mexico. The Center for Global Justice has produced a documentary film about this cooperative, directed by Atahualpa Caldera.
