Agua Blanca

## Overview Agua Blanca is a public drinking spring located near the town of Jungapeo in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. Situated along Camino Real a las Anonas, this spring sits in a region renowned for its lush subtropical climate, thermal waters, and rich volcanic geology. The name "Agua Blanca" — meaning "White Water" in Spanish — likely refers to the clarity or mineral-rich appearance of the water as it emerges from the earth. Jungapeo and its surrounding area lie within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, a geologically active zone that gives rise to numerous natural springs and hot springs throughout the region. The municipality has long been celebrated as a destination for its natural water sources, warm climate, and fruit orchards. Agua Blanca is one of several springs in the area that have historically served local communities as sources of fresh water. While the spring has been listed as a public drinking water source, visitors should be aware that water quality can vary with seasonal conditions. Locals have historically used the spring for drinking water, but independent testing is always advisable before consumption. ## Directions 1. From the center of Jungapeo, Michoacán, head toward the road known as **Camino Real a las Anonas**. 2. Follow Camino Real a las Anonas until you reach **No. 1** on the road — the spring is located at or very near this address. 3. GPS coordinates for navigation: **19.47896, -100.49499**. Entering these into Google Maps or a GPS device should bring you directly to the site. 4. The area is relatively rural, so look for local signage or ask residents for "Agua Blanca" if the road is not clearly marked. ## What to Expect Agua Blanca is set in the warm, green landscape typical of the Jungapeo municipality, which sits at a moderate elevation and enjoys a subtropical climate for much of the year. The surrounding area features tropical fruit orchards, rolling hills, and volcanic terrain. As a public spring, access is generally open to visitors. The spring is located along a named road (Camino Real a las Anonas), suggesting it is reasonably accessible by vehicle, though the final approach may involve unpaved or rural roads. Visitors should be prepared for basic conditions — this is a natural spring rather than a developed park or resort. The Jungapeo region experiences a rainy season roughly from June through September, which may affect water flow and road conditions. The dry season (October through May) is generally the most comfortable time to visit. Temperatures in the area are warm year-round, often reaching 30°C (86°F) or higher, so bringing sun protection and plenty of water for the journey is recommended. For those exploring the broader area, Jungapeo is also home to several balnearios (natural bathing spots) and thermal springs, making Agua Blanca a worthwhile stop as part of a larger tour of the region's natural water features.
