Guadalupe Canyon Hot Springs (also known as Cañon de Guadalupe Hot Springs) are a grouping of geothermal springs located near Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. The hot mineral water is discharged through a number of springs that divert the flow through man-made aqueducts into rock and concrete pools.[1] The hot springs were used by indigenous people for many years before more recent settlers arrived.
The alkaline water emerges at 125°F (52°C). The springs are located in Sierra de Juárez in the Cañon de Guadalupe.[2] There are ancient petroglyphs in the area, a cave used by ancient indigenous peoples, a mud bath, and hiking, camping and rock climbing areas.[3] [4]
