Canyons of the North

The range pulls open and the hot water rises on the canyon floor. Recowata sits by Creel and you can bathe. Maguarichi needs a day of its own: the road does not allow stacking it, and the water comes out too hot to enter. Huápoca lies north, in the Sirupa canyon, and that leg takes the day.

• None has a hotel. Recowata and Huápoca note camping; the comfortable bed is in Creel, not at the spring.
• Maguarichi comes out between 42 and 55 °C and the census records no temperate pool. You visit it. It is not a soak.
• Albercas Termales de Maguarichi to Aguas Termales de Huápoca is 7 h 14 min of driving. Better to end the day before you set off.
