Rio Caliente Spa, Primavera, Mexico Jalisco Province I’m home from a week in Mexico. I heard that my favorite spa was closing July 18, so, of course, I immediately went online and reserved a week and made plane reservations.

Here you get an idea of the variety in the size of the pyramids and the types of building surrounding them. The people did not live here, just came for major events.

The tombs around the pyramids at Teuchitlan had models of the lives of the inhabitants. People point out the Asian style of the roofs.

I made mistakes in photo titles
The "mesquite tree" is really a cactus. I should have put on my glasses. The first tree labeled "fruit tree" was another tree in the cactus garden. I'll see if I can fix these titles.

Sad
So sad that Rio is closing. I am despondent thinking that next January I won't be on my way to Guadalajara for ten days of calm, peace and pleasure - and delicious food. I've been going for more than twenty years. Does anyone know of another place like Rio?

If you visited Rio Caliente you were so blessed.
My very good friend and I were looking for a vacation spot that was low key and relaxing. We had no idea something as wonderful as Rio Caliente existed. We made reservations online. Booked our air travel and landed in Guatelara. With the help of some Spanish/English speaking travelers we were able to get a taxi. Not speaking the language, when we entered the forest/park on the semi dirt road we were terrified. He delivered us safely to the most beautiful, rare destitination. I visited another time and am so sad it isn't available anymore, but still thankful of was one of few that even new it existed. Thank you Rio Caliente, you will always have a place in my heart.

Please, if you find somewhere quite as refreshing as Rio Caliente, Clue me in.
I've visited many tourist traps, and would love to visit somewhere as remote and relaxing as Rio Calinete. Thank you
