Gualterio is famous in the region for its spa, which, although it isn't a hot spring, is a place where different social groups coexist. Over time, many people who inhabited it have left the community to go to cities inside and outside of Mexico. This is due to their lack of ability to maintain their economy.
There's also a church and a square opposite. In Gualterio there are approximately 1000 people, most of them Catholic. Once upon a time, it was a community that worked with metals. On a hill to the south of the community, there's still a mill with a laboratory to process these metals.
