Misol Há & Agua Azul


In the mountains surrounding the ancient Mayan site of Palenque in the Mexican state of Chiapas, close to the Lacandon jungle and Usumacinta River which divides Mexico and Guatemala, thundering waterfalls dot the landscape. Cascada de Misol Há falls from a height of 115' into a nearly circular pool surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. The water is clear crystal blue due to its mineral content and on a warm spring day the water is perfect for swimming! There is a 60' long cave along the massive rock face that allows you to walk behind the waterfall and provides stunning views of the world from behind the veil.


Aqua Azul is a seemingly endless series of spectacular cataracts one following another as they cascade down the mountainside. Surrounded by tropical forests, banana trees, brilliant pink hanging heliconia and bright red ginger. The place is truly magical.
