Ticket Options

Source of Tamuín

On this exciting guided tour, we'll reach the town of Tamuín to visit the birthplace of the river Tamuín, which is a spectacular place where you can explore underwater caves by swimming in crystal-clear waters.

Minas Viejas Waterfalls

This day trip takes us to the Mina Viejas waterfalls, tucked away on the outskirts of El Naranjo. These two waterfalls cascade down from 50 m (164 ft) into a natural pool below that stands out thanks to its brilliant turquoise waters. Feel free to dive in head-first for a refreshing dip while we're here!

Micos Waterfalls

On this day trip, we'll visit a set of the 7 waterfalls taller than 1 km (0.6 mi). At this natural site, for those daring enough, you can try waterfall jumping for an adrenaline rush!

Salto + Meco Waterfalls

This aquatic experience starts along the wells of the Salto waterfall, a towering cascade falling from an impressive 70 m (229 ft) high. Take a refreshing dip in these tranquil waters!

Following this visit, we'll head to the Meco lookout point, a magical place with a privileged view of the beginning of the 30-meter (98-foot) high waterfall. Then, we'll hop in a canoe and head to the waterfall itself. If you're feeling adventurous, you can jump from the rocks into the serene waters for an exciting swim.

Tamasopo & Puente de Dios

With this option, we'll arrive at the outskirts of Tamasopo to uncover the natural area near Puente de Dios, a paradisical grotto surrounded by waterfalls and tropical jungle. We'll meander around the grotto in search of golden rays of sunlight piercing through any small nook or cranny, lending the space a magical natural landscape.

Soon after, we'll head to the Tamasopo waterfalls, and if you're feeling really daring, you can try your hand at vine-swinging for an authentic experience, perfectly landing in the pristine waters below.

Xilitla & Sótano de las Golondrinas

This tour will take us to Xilitla, a Magical Village hidden within the Edward James Surrealist Garden. We'll stroll through the area, full of magic, as we observe structures made up of giant flowers, spiral staircases, Gothic arches, and unfinished buildings hidden among the jungle trees.

Then, we'll return to Xilitla to admire the colonial architecture and enjoy some good old people-watching in the main square. Next, we'll head to Golondrinas Basement, a 512-meter (1,679-foot) deep karst cave.

Tamul Waterfalls

Tamul Waterfall is the tallest in the Huasteca Potosina region, measuring 105 m (344 ft). To reach it, we'll take a boat trip of approximately 1.5 hours. We'll also visit the Cueva del Agua, a natural blue pool where we can do some diving.
