Overview
What it is
Termas Comanjilla is a developed thermal water park in Guanajuato, commonly visited from León or Silao. It is a classic Mexican balneario setup: pools, day-use facilities, and a social, busy feel on weekends.
Water and feel
Thermal water is the draw, but the experience is not quiet or secluded. Think of it as a place for a full day with family or friends, with multiple soaking options rather than one signature pool.
Why it stands out locally
In a region where many visitors split time between city sightseeing and day trips, this is one of the more straightforward hot-water options without heading deep into mountain terrain.
Location & Access
Where it is
Comanjilla is in Guanajuato state, within practical driving distance of León and Silao. Access is primarily by car or hired transport.
Getting there
Road access is generally easier than canyon hot springs, but allow extra time on peak days. If you are coming with a group, set a clear arrival plan so you are not circling for parking at midday.
What to bring
Bring swimwear, towels, sandals with grip, sun protection, and drinking water. A simple waterproof pouch helps for phones and keys. Check the venue’s official channel for current hours, entry requirements, and any seasonal notes before you go.
Suitability & Accessibility
Who it suits best
Best for families and groups who want an easy, facility-based thermal soak. If you want a quiet soak or natural river setting, you will likely prefer other parts of Mexico.
Families
Family-friendly in layout and vibe. Kids still need supervision in deeper pools and around crowded edges where people move quickly.
Mobility realities
Walking is simpler than rough-terrain hot springs, but wet surfaces and steps between areas are common. Unless the venue clearly confirms accessible routes and pool entry options, assume partial barriers.
Safety & Etiquette
Slips and congestion
Balnearios are slip-prone by nature. Keep sandals on, walk slowly, and avoid carrying large loads across wet decks. If you are with kids, pick a meeting point in case the group spreads out.
Heat management
Even moderate thermal water can overheat you if you soak too long. Rotate between pools, take shade breaks, and hydrate. Watch older visitors and small kids closely.
Etiquette
Respect shared space, keep music low unless you are in a clearly loud zone, and do not leave trash on tables or lawns. Rinse off before entering pools when possible.
