Agua Hedionda Spa

Agua Hedionda Spa

The Spa of Agua Hedionda (Spanish: "Balneario de Agua Hedionda") is a mineral spring - day spa located in the city of Cuautla, in the state of Morelos, Mexico, about 60 miles (97 km) south of Mexico City.

Agua Hedionda means in Spanish "Foul Smelling Water", and it is also the name of the residential neighborhood that surrounds the spa, with approximately 10,000 inhabitants.

The name was probably given because the waters have a characteristic smell that reminds one of "rotten eggs", due to the presence of sulfur. In fact, the content of minerals in Agua Hedionda's waters classifies it as one of the important spring waters in the world. The smell however, is by no means repugnant.
