Balneario Santa María Amajac is a thermal spa resort in Hidalgo State, Mexico, located near the Amajac River in the Sierra Madre Oriental foothills where naturally heated mineral springs provide the warm water for the resort's bathing pools. Hidalgo State is one of Mexico's most geothermally active regions, and its volcanic geology has produced numerous thermal spring sites that have been visited since pre-Columbian times by the Otomí and Nahua peoples who inhabited the region. Santa María Amajac takes its name from the river that has been central to the life of this part of Hidalgo for millennia, combining the Christian naming convention of the colonial period with the pre-Columbian Nahuatl place name Amajac, reflecting the layered cultural heritage of one of Mexico's most historically significant indigenous regions.
