About this property

Welcome to Balneario el Oasis Semidesierto Peñamiller

Balneario el Oasis Semidesierto Peñamiller stands as a genuine escape nestled in the heart of Querétaro’s semi-desert landscape. Rated 4.2 stars, this natural haven offers visitors stunning views and a blend of rustic charm with accessible amenities. Its location in Adjuntas de Higueras makes it both a tranquil retreat and a destination for adventure enthusiasts.

The site features two swimming pools with varying depths, perfect for families and individuals seeking a refreshing dip. Accommodation options include cozy rooms, cabins, and camping areas, catering to different preferences and budgets. However, many guests mention that camping might come with some encounters with local wildlife, suggesting rooms might provide a more comfortable stay. The cabins, while intimate and suitable for small groups, can feel compact for larger parties, yet they embody the essence of an oasis amid nature.

Accessing the balneario is part of the experience itself. Visitors should prepare for a 10 to 15-minute walk, often crossing a shallow river or stream. This contributes to the adventure but also calls for practical footwear such as aquashoes. The path is along a dirt road, inviting a mindful approach especially for those arriving by car or motorcycle. Indeed, crossing the river on a sturdy vehicle enhances the thrill of arriving at this secluded spot.

The culinary offerings are described as hearty and affordable, with generous portions that reflect home-style cooking. Visitors frequently recommend the milanesa de res and refreshing micheladas. While kitchen staff have been noted as sometimes inattentive, the flavors and value consistently impress. The restaurant could enhance guest satisfaction by expanding its menu’s availability, such as ensuring popular dishes like mojarras are offered consistently from opening hours.

One of the most appealing qualities of Balneario el Oasis Semidesierto Peñamiller is its pet-friendly environment, welcoming responsible pet owners to share the experience. The natural setting, with its striking semi-desert vistas and water features, creates an extraordinary backdrop that resonates with those looking to disconnect and reconnect with nature.

Despite minor drawbacks like the presence of some insects in the camping area and limited infrastructure such as the need for improved parking access ramps, the overall atmosphere feels authentic and rewarding. The blend of natural beauty, affordable pricing, and the freedom to enter and leave once the entrance fee is paid enhances the feeling of value and openness.

In essence, Balneario el Oasis Semidesierto Peñamiller isn’t just a place to visit—it’s an experience. It invites visitors to immerse themselves in raw nature, enjoy generous local cuisine, and embrace the simplicity that defines true relaxation. For those seeking a unique getaway away from urban noise, this oasis in the semi-desert provides a memorable and refreshing respite.

La vista que ofrece el lugar es increíble, tiene cuartos y cabañas para hospedarte, así como área para acampar y también puedes ir sólo un día. El camino es de terraceria, así que maneja con precaución. El balneario tiene 2 albercas con distinta profundidad. Debes caminar un tramo para poder llegar al lugar, te recomiendo usas aquashoes para no mojar tu calzado, ya que pasa un rio/arroyo por ahí. Puedes llevar agua o comida, y si no adentro tienen restaurant y tiendita. Hay regaderas que puedes usar y baños también. En general es una buena experiencia.

El lugar es muy muy hermosa quedé encantada ya que si me dieron acceso con mi perrita obviamente dueño responsable y acatando las reglas, solo dos comentarios constructivos 1:- Seria bueno que desde que abren el restaurant tenga ya mojarras ya que me quedé con ganas de probar por qué no tenían. 2:- Estaría super que hicieran una rampa para ingresar a su estacionamiento ya que cruzas el río van las llantas mojadas y se patinan muy feo los carros, claro sin afectar el río creo que si se podría. Fuera de esos dos detalles estaríaperfecto

Es un lugar muy lindo con vistas hermosas, lo único es que hay muchas cucarachas en la zona de camping así que recomiendo rentar habitaciones. Sin duda volveré.

Hay que cruzar el arroyito para el estacionamiento pero es parte de la experiencia. Recorrer todo el cause hasta las concentraciones de agua fue muy divertido. El personal de la cocina es muy distraído y le falta atención, el sazón es muy bueno y las porciones son vastas. La señora que está en la tienda es muy seca y parece molesta siempre. Recomiendo las micheladas y la milanesa de res. Las habitaciones no tienen TV así que aprovecha para descansar, es limpio y fresco, silencioso por las noches y las camas cómodas. Le agregaría un clóset para colgar la ropa.

El lugar es bonito y limpio. Es bastante asequible. La comida es rica , barata y en buenas porciones. Para llegar si o si hay que dejar el carro, la caminata es de 10 a 15 minutos , hay q mojarse los pies por qué vas a atravesar el río caminando. A menos que tengas camioneta alta ,moto alta o cuatrimoto sin tema pasa

El lugar literal es un oasis, me fui en moto y para llegar tienes que meterte al río, a mi no me tocó que llevara mucha agua el rio entonces en moto pude cruzar bien. Rentamos la cabaña para 8 personas pero es chica, tenía 2 camas matrimoniales y 1 cama individual y aparte recibimos mucho piquetes en la noche de animalitos, OJO, no digo que estuviera sucia la cabaña pero al estar enmedio de dos cerros había muchos animalitos, la comida del restaurante es basta en porción y el sabor es bueno, la atención también excelente. Las albercas están limpias, cae mucha oja en las albercas pero se esfuerzan mucho por mantener limpias las albercas y como atractivo turístico, caminando está cerca el cañón del paraíso, caminando está lejos pero vale la pena la caminada
