Termas Chignahuapan Puebla is a thermal spa destination in Chignahuapan, a high-altitude city in the northern Sierra Norte de Puebla mountain region, Mexico, celebrated nationwide as the center of Mexico's Christmas ornament industry and home to a spectacular lagoon famed for its flamingo populations. The sulfurous thermal waters rising in Chignahuapan are geologically linked to the volcanic heritage of the Sierra Nevada and are traditionally valued within a long thermal tradition, associated with relaxation and skin comfort. At an elevation of over 2,700 meters, the combination of crisp highland air, pine forests, and warm sulfurous pools creates a uniquely invigorating thermal experience.
Insider tip — Termas Chignahuapan occupies a pine-forested highland zone in northern Puebla at over 2600 metres, where sulfurous springs at 35°C feel particularly warming against the cool mountain air. The town itself is famous throughout Mexico for producing ornamental Christmas balls — aguas termales and artisan workshops make an unusual combination of attractions. The springs were used by Totonac and Nahua peoples long before the Spanish founded the colonial settlement.
