Insider tip — Agua Caliente near Tecate sits in the chaparral-covered hills of Baja California just south of the US border, where sulfurous springs have been used by Kumeyaay people long before the colonial era. The springs reach about 40°C and flow into rustic pools surrounded by granite boulders and sage. The dry desert air and bright stars at night make the outdoor pools feel remote despite the proximity to the border crossing. Weekend mornings are busiest; arriving Friday afternoon secures a quieter, more meditative experience.
