"A striking natural site about an hour and a half from downtown Oaxaca reached by a final, slow drive over rutted single‑lane roads past agave fields and rustic roadside stands; mineral‑rich water bubbles up to form natural pools and has calcified where it spills over, creating rock‑like waterfalls that cascade into a lush valley below. The pools are cold rather than warm, and wading in felt vulnerable and restorative alike, a place where being photographed felt both intimate and generous." - ByZan Romanoff
