It was beautiful. Went on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded. Also, its a shame that we cannot go further into the cathedral, but i understand it's because of COVID guidelines. It's still the same, so many people trying to sell you candy or cheap metal bracelets/necklaces, just say no thank you and continue walking. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience.

Very interesting place where you can discover the aspects of death that this Mexican community has since century XIX, besides real human bodies mummified there are archaeological pieces from pre-hispanic era and an interesting collection of old cameras from early XX century, after watching the museum you must visit the cemetery beside where all the bodies come from.

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice museum. It has a small room but with very well preserved mummies and it is a phenomenon that occurs in the pantheon of Encarnación de Díaz. The exhibition is somewhat gloomy of course but always interesting. The price is very affordable so there is no excuse not to go. Greetings you have a great place.

Calle BenitoJuárez esq, C. Francisco González León S/N, Centro, 47400 Lagos de Moreno, Jal., Mexico
We had a great 5 day trip and can't wait to return. We hadn't been riding for a while so we worked with Juan Alfonso on customizing the perfect trip for us. Juan Alfonso was very attentive and checked in with us daily to make sure the ride was meeting our expectations.
We rode for several hours each day and got to visit a variety of haciendas, some more rustic, some more luxurious. Food was delicious and it was a delight meeting the families. The area is perfect for horseback riding; gravel roads and dirt paths through miles and miles of farms. We rode along canals, across fields, through small towns, and into a picturesque canyon.
Our guides were fun and interesting. Most days we rode with Lupe who not only led the way, but sang too! One of my favorite aspects of the ride was meeting the hacienda owners and horse trainers. Each one had a wealth of experience to share and insight into each of their disciplines: barrel racing, starting horses, cutting, reining, and of course, charreria.
Of course, I have to give 5 stars for the horses too. For the first time in years I was able to gain back some of my old confidence and the sore legs were worth it. My first horse was sweet, but I had to push him a little. I switched to a hotter horse with a quick step and had a blast cruising across the countryside. The final day I had a young one with lots of cow sense. All the horses were in good shape and well cared for.
All this to say, I highly recommend traveling to Lagos de Moreno to experience the horses, haciendas, families, and booking a trip with Cabalgatas Las Haciendas. I did this trip with my partner and can't wait to come back with the rest of the family.

(Translated by Google) An incredible horseback ride in THE Real Mexico, a Mexico made up of desert expanses of cacti and agave crops, discovered to the rhythm of formidable quarter horses, very well trained and very sure-footed. We traveled through these landscapes, going from hacienda to hacienda, some with very old charm. We had unparalleled support that made us feel very safe throughout our stay and to meet real Mexicans, whose welcome will remain memorable!
I highly recommend Cabalgatas Las Haciendas for anyone who wants an authentic and exotic equestrian experience.

Une randonnée équestre incroyable dans LE Vrai Mexique, un Mexique fait d'étendues désertiques de cactus, et de cultures d'agaves, decouvert au rythme des formidables quarters horses très bien dressés et au pied très sûr.

Nous avons eu un accompagnement hors pair qui nous a fait sentir très en sécurité tout le long du séjour et rencontrer les vrai mexicains, dont l'accueil restera mémorable!
Je recommande de vivement Cabalgatas Las Haciendas pour tout ceux qui veulent vivre une expérience équestre authentique et dépaysante.

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend Cabalgatas Las Haciendas…
My daughters and I had the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience as a family…
First the tour of the beautiful gardens that Hacienda Sepúlveda offers and then its surroundings…
The tour was one hour since my daughters are minors, but it was enough to have fun and we were always accompanied by a guide... which made me feel safer when doing this activity with my little ones.
At the end we ate delicious!! At the Hotel Sepulveda restaurant, and we enjoyed walking, taking photos in the gardens, in the corrals with the goats and sitting on the edge of the Lakes…
So if you want to do a different family activity, where children and adults can enjoy!! Is the best !! …in addition to the fact that the attention of all the staff is excellent! .

Recomiendo mucho Cabalgatas Las Haciendas …
Tuvimos la oportunidad mis hijas y yo de disfrutar en familia una experiencia única …

El recorrido fue de una hora ya que mis hijas son menores de edad , pero fue lo suficiente para divertirnos y además siempre nos acompañó un guía… lo cual me hizo sentir más segura al realizar esta actividad con mis pequeñas .
Al finalizar comimos delicioso !! En El restaurante de Hotel Sepulveda, y disfrutamos caminar, tomar fotos en los jardines , en los corrales con las chivas y sentarnos al filo de los Lagos …
Así que si quieres realizar una actividad diferente en familia, donde disfruten chicos y grandes !! Es la mejor !! … además de que la atención de todo el personal es excelente ! .

The Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús is a neo-gothic church that was constructed from 1921 to 2013. It boasts a light-filled sanctuary and catacombs, both of which are worth exploring. The church's crypts can be accessed for a fee of around 20 pesos and the bathroom is located behind the building.
Such a gorgeous church, inside and out. Great atmosphere. If you haven’t gone inside the church or never visited it, I highly recommend you do that.

The Triumphal Arch of the Causeway of the Heroes is a late 1800s monument with a lion on top, surrounded by fountains and statues. It was built to commemorate independence and marks the start of a beautiful outdoor park area. On weekends, it's bustling with families and friends out for walks while street music fills the air. The venue offers plenty of spots to sit and watch life go by in tranquility.

The Museum of Art and History of Guanajuato is an architecturally notable museum that showcases Mexican sculptures and exhibits on regional culture. The displays are well done, particularly the history section which covers the 1800s in detail - an important period for both the area and Mexico as a whole. The museum offers descriptive information through electronic pedestals that provide translations in both Spanish and English.
Grate place to visit and learn about the Leon history and Mexican culture.

Very interesting. Parts are very well done. Relied on my wife for translation. With today's technology, translation of displays is very easy but that is not frequently available here, just a few displays, hence 4 stars. The history in 1800's was particularly well done, period by period as it is an important period for the area and of course Mexico as a whole.

Incredible museum to visit! Highly recommend making a trip to see this museum for the historical aspect as well as the artistical.

I was here about 3 years, wish they had something more exciting to show. They had a bunch of cardboard boxes piled up and a concrete electric post laying down and expect people to interpret that as art??? They should think out of the box instead. Most things are "Don't touch" they should change that to "touch with care". More interactive stuff...

A beautiful place focusing on art and history in the region. I prefer smaller places like this compared to the Museo de Antropologia as it is much easier to digest.

Sp zona piel is a vast bazaar renowned for its numerous leather merchants showcasing an extensive range of boots, coats, luggage and clothing. The marketplace boasts an exceptional collection of high-quality products available at very reasonable prices. Additionally, there are designated seating areas for uninterested spouses to rest while browsing through the impressive selection. If it's made from leather, this marketplace has got it all! Moreover, one can find a fur coat shop with great deals on merchandise in Sp zona piel.
The place to go if you are looking for leather goods. You will find the whole range of stuff from “top notch” quality down to the real cheap goods in low quality also. Some of the shops are just wholesalers which sell in volume only but most businesses are for the “normal” customer also.
Always try to negotiate prices and never pay the first price which is asked.

Thomas Koehle — Google review
Like all other reviewers have stated the abundance of leather goods is HUGE! From national products to China based products.
You will need to shop around to get a good deal but it seemed like most places have their prices set for wholesales vs , individual sales. Most places accept cash and will give you about a 10% discount for paying cash.
Make sure you go with time to look as it can be overwhelming.
Places usually open between 10 and 11.
Some places are friendlier than others.

So fun to walk through many city blocks of store after store! (Walk back in more for better deals,, and bargain for a discount). All kinds of cheap shoes, some nice leather boots, bags and coats, luggage, belts, hats, some clothes. The shoe deals are fantastic! Buy an extra bag and take home handstiched cowboy boots or purses! (For less than $100.00) Safe area during the day, but gets very crowded. Right across from the main bus station

The aquarium was so impressive that I couldn't believe it was an aquarium of the same level as one found in a shopping mall, and I was very satisfied! ️
However, personally, I was carrying a large amount of luggage before the flight, so I thought it would be nice if there were coin lockers.
Approximately 10 minutes by car from Leon Airport.
Use Uber to get to the airport for 260 pesos (approximately ¥2,340) in January 2024.
If you are traveling with children to kill time before your flight, this is definitely a good option❣️
There are also shops such as H&M, Vans, and New Era, so adults can also enjoy it.

It is an alright mall. you got everything you need, but nothing too fancy. Plaza Mayor is the better mall with more variety and better shops. Altacia is still nice now and then, plus it has the Aquarium as a bonus.

This is just like any other mall but they do have an aquarium which is awesome. There is so many clothing stores here and food choices. I prefer the Argentine streak place put front. Also I have been told some of the stores are a bunch of fake name brand items but I have no way to confirm. If you have time to spare might as well check this out.

Nice mall, one of the biggest malls in Leon city , with a huge parking, alot of restaurants and coffee shops , Liverpool store, very interesting aquarium, trampoline jumping park, and alot of other deferent stores, but for me this is not the best place for shopping neither eating and drinking, because everything is expensive for me , so I go there either to walk with friends or to park my car,

Blvd. Aeropuerto No. 104, Cerrito de Jerez, 37545 León de los Aldama, Gto., Mexico
Parque Zoológico de León offers a plethora of entertainment options for visitors. These include the chance to observe hundreds of animals and participate in activities such as safari tours, miniature train rides, and picnics in designated areas. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, visitors are not allowed to walk through the zoo but must instead drive through it; however, this provides an interesting perspective on the animals and their habitats.
Bring back really good memories when I was a kid and Bring my kids now is great we have a great time
Becerra Becerra — Google review
Great zoo for a first timer! Took our 6 year old here while in Leon for a fútbol tournament. It was his first time and it was a great option. The zoo is not too large or too small. It was a good 3-4 hrs of walking around and taking our time. The animal exhibits are small and the animals weren’t very active but our son had a fun time seeing them up close. The safari ride was fun but not worth the purchase of the package, the package did NOT include everything. Still had to purchase experiences throughout the park. The do not sell anything but soda and water. Tacos near the giraffes are AMAZING!!!!!
Danielle Chaffee — Google review
This is a great zoo! We got the tickets that included the safari, which I enjoyed. The zoo is well laid out and I love the areas where you can get close to the animals. It’s nice to see them roaming around freely :) They have a nice variety of species and some I’ve never seen before. I also loved feeding the giraffes as they are one of my favorite animals!

Really it’s a nice place to go and to see the animals, but unfortunately you can’t feed the giraffes 🦒 and the ostriches with the carrots 🥕 as you could before. As for the rest it’s really green and lovely 😊
Marisha Unicorn Dreamlandia — Google review
This place was amazing! Their prices are very cheap and you get to see a large variety of animals. Some animals you could even see up close. You need at least 2 hours to see most of it. You could turn it into an all day thing if you want. Lots of different animals to see. I definitely recommend the Safari experience, we arrived too late but the train option would have been better.Their orangutan knows sign language. Their white tiger is beautiful. And their bird and reptile areas are a must see. Very impressed.

The Museo Laberinto de las Ciencias y las Artes is a modern museum boasting innovative areas and interactive displays showcasing the fields of science, technology, and art. It offers an enriching experience for visitors of all ages at an affordable price point. The staff are bilingual and provide helpful explanations in either English or Spanish. While it may not be considered the absolute best museum in its category (as some prefer Nemo in Amsterdam), it is definitely one worth visiting.

It's also close to shopping areas, pharmacies and government buildings.

The Centro de las Artes San Luis Potosí is an art center located in a restored 19th-century gaol. The complex houses a museum in the former cells as well as sculpture displays. The spacious facility includes multiple patios and gardens, all meticulously maintained and serene. Visitors can enjoy the constant fresh breeze while exploring the many different areas of the center. This beautifully transformed former prison is a must-see for anyone interested in art and history.
Absolutely magical! The refurbished former prison has been turned into an art center. Probably the most beautiful place I've seen recently, the transformation is a must see. Walk around the many different gardens and visit the museum.

From the videos and reviews that I have seen and read, they make little justice. First, the place is ENORMOUS. You really can't capture it until you see it for yourself. From outside one can't tell. There's many patios and places to explore. Everything is kept extremely clean, quiet, serene, just beautiful. To top it all a fresh clean breeze runs constantly. And this is just the outside. MUST SEE MUST VISIT.

Tours
The dive shop Ossiel Scuba Media Luna offers an exceptional service with excellent customer support. The instructor ensures that all necessary preparations are made before entering the water, displaying remarkable patience and teaching skills. In just under an hour, individuals can learn how to scuba dive, providing a life-changing experience. The location itself is breathtakingly beautiful and teeming with vibrant marine life. It is highly recommended not to go elsewhere for such services if in the vicinity.
Our instructor was Marvin, he as an "EXCELLENT" instructor and leader. He really knows the scuba diving principles and he teached us these techniques very well. My wife was scared since she has a bit of clastrofobia but overall the water pressure might cause headaches, Marvin gave clam and peace to this activity and we had a great time, I think she was the better scuba diver than me and my sister 😀 , I really recommend Marvin, he is an excellent instructor for scuba diving!!!!!

My trainer made sure i was all good to go before we even touched the water . He was so patient and a great teacher .
I came all the way from Dallas TX and learned how to scuba dive in less than an hour . I’m coming back to get certified by him !
Life changing experience. The area was so beautiful and full of life
Don’t go else where
This is a must if you’re anywhere near the area
I went with one adult and two teens plus the teacher and it went so smoothly . I wish this business the best and hope they grow and maybe I’ll be part of it one day.

Puente de Dios is an a beautiful waterfall and a must see destination when visiting the Huasteca Potosina.
Please be aware that there are about 308 (down) to get to the waterfall.
About 3/4 of the way you may or may not find people selling water. It is not recommended to bring down hats as once you get down into the water area there is shade and a naturally lighted tunel.
There are ropes to help you move from one spot to another.
Water life jacket is not optional in the area. Cost is around $150 pesos, if your with a tour most guides include the vest. Tonel Huasteca Oficial from Facebook does include them.

The most amazing place ever! It's is a water spring, where water is born, then you will see the water hole. You can jump from 1 mt or from 8 mt. We got lucky because there wasn't that many people, so we got to swim and enjoy the scenery. This could be for beginners or advanced swimmers.

Awesome adventure if your going through Sierra Gorda. Easy drive with about 15 minutes of it being “off road” on a narrow bumpy road.
Once you get there you have a few options for parking and plenty of spots to buy food or water related apparel. You pay for guide who speaks solely in Spanish so be prepared for that. We loved our guide and learned a lot during our hike. It’s a beautiful place and once you get to the end there is a cave with a natural spring waterfall that is truly refreshing. Bring water shoes if you come during the rainy season and bring a towel/water shoes if you plan on swimming. Would do it again in a heart beat!

The best place I have visited ever in my life.It was a little bit scary when we see the flow of the water. Get the safety jacket from the top. we need to walk down around 350 steps. It's easy to get down, But difficult to climb up. Locker rooms are available near . Get the shoes as well.

Beautiful place in a cute touristy town. Amazed by all the mango trees, will go again. BUT, do your research before heading out through not everyone can make it up and down the stairs to the trails to water.

The most amazing place ever! It's is a water spring, where water is born, then you will see the water hole. You can jump from 1 mt or from 8 mt. We got lucky because there wasn't that many people, so we got to swim and enjoy the scenery. This could be for beginners or advanced swimmers.

Such a beautiful place to visit! There had been a lot of rain and the river was flooding so we couldn't swim. Normally the water is clear blue. Still a beautiful place to visit. There is a decent hike done stairs (and then back up) so make sure you're up for it.

Awesome adventure if your going through Sierra Gorda. Easy drive with about 15 minutes of it being “off road” on a narrow bumpy road.
Once you get there you have a few options for parking and plenty of spots to buy food or water related apparel. You pay for guide who speaks solely in Spanish so be prepared for that. We loved our guide and learned a lot during our hike. It’s a beautiful place and once you get to the end there is a cave with a natural spring waterfall that is truly refreshing. Bring water shoes if you come during the rainy season and bring a towel/water shoes if you plan on swimming. Would do it again in a heart beat!

The best place I have visited ever in my life.It was a little bit scary when we see the flow of the water. Get the safety jacket from the top. we need to walk down around 350 steps. It's easy to get down, But difficult to climb up. Locker rooms are available near . Get the shoes as well.

This place is magical and the water is crispy and clear. They had closed of so we could not swim at the time we were there but it was noon ice to look at. We took the opportunity to have a swim further up stream and no one was around. A very nice place. Nice for family's and the hike is not to bad but there is a few stairs so keep in mind.

Great place to go and push yourself beyond your comfort zone a little. Letting yourself get sucked into a hole in the mountain and then floating through the cave was fantastic. will definitely return! @boondockpatrol

The waterfalls are very beautiful, everything is conditioned to eat inside the park in more than 5 different small restaurants. Everything will depend on which session of the year you go to know if you can get in the water or not, if it is rainy season, the waterfalls will surely be closed although you can enter the park to take pictures.

Beautiful natural wonder. Clean clear water. Peaceful. Romantic. Fun. Adventure. Family place. Run and operated by local community. Lifeguard on duty all time. Local security. Very simple and basic rules to keep the place safe and enjoyable.
Unfortunately is very crowded during weekends. But worth it to visit.

What a fun place! I wish I had had my kids with me, they would have loved it. With a tour group, but we all had fun anyway. So many pools and areas to wade or swim or splash around in. Diving platforms and rope swings and obstacle courses for the more adventurous. Very hot, though, we were there in Sept and it was probably 35C and sunny. Water was perfect temp, maybe 23C or so. Cool and refreshing and perfect on a hot day. Lots of places to eat or grab a drink, lots of washrooms. My only caution is water shoes. YOU WILL NEED THEM. I have feet like a Hobbit, and thought I'd be fine. Wrong. All of the water areas are rocky and hard on the feet. And many slippery areas the shoes help with. When you see the guy outside the park offering water shoes for 90 pesos, buy them. Inside the park they cost 200 pesos.

What an awesome experience to see the natural waterfalls, swims in the pools and dive into the waters. The natural beauty of Mexico greatly surpasses any man made experience. Prices inside the cascades for food were very reasonable compared to the Rivera Maya.

I love this place is like a little piece of paradise,plany of low places for my kids to play and swim and lots of deep places for the grown-ups,restrooms are nice and clean, have lockers that you can rent to put all you stuff,food is delicious (little pricey) but u can take sandwiches or something already made. can't take ice chest but we leave ours in the car and just make a trip to get some drinks everybody love it ,make sure to have plenty of battery in you phone you will want to take lots of pictures.

Want a fun water park! It I'd easy to find and park, although they charge more than double of what everyone else charges to park.
Lots of bathrooms, showers, food and drink vendors and lockers inside.
Much to do for everyone including rope swings, jump platforms, ropes course or loungers to relax. We had a great time.
The largest waterfall in the state of Huasteca Potosinas is Cascada de Tamul, which stands at 344 feet and features a cenote. Its location in a forested canyon creates a stunning and breathtaking setting for visitors to enjoy. Accessible by either hiking or boat tour, this attraction provides an opportunity for adventure and exercise. The trip includes a visit to a small waterfall and cenote where one can swim.
Boat trip was a great experience. You have water fights with all the other boats you meet. Be prepared for there not to be much water in the waterfall because of the lack of rain.
Sarah Copp — Google review
As everyone is explaining the two options. We took the boat paddling one and we are glad the way it turned out. We had to pay 10 pesos per person as parking for the car and 200 pesos for boat ride. Even when my kid was small, still he was charged which makes total sense. It is fun with water fight on the way and the option to swim in the cave. The total duration for the ride is 3 hours , can be more or slightly less based on the team you are paddling with. Incase flow of water is high you will have to get down from the boat and walk on the sides because while going you are driving against the water. There is no problem for food or water it is available at each point. There is place to change your wet clothes. Although for toilets you will have to walk 100 meters. People were super helpful as they explained everything in detail. Better to carry a water protector cover for your cellphone because there is a high chance it will get wet. There are shops selling it there also.

Beautiful place in SLP, one of many tours they have available in the near town Valles.
Be prepared for some arm work out, walking and fun. You need river shoes , lots of sunscreen before the tour , water proof cover for cellphone or camera , cash and a positive open minded attitude. It’s a nice experience, if you have the opportunity to visit. ☀️☀️

There are two ways to see the falls: boat or hiking.
Boats leave from Embarcadero a Cascada Tamúl La Morena. There is a $10 peso every fee cost plus at least $200 for the boat ($1600 per boat or $200 per person, whatever is more). A guide comes with you. It is 4 km to the waterfall. You don't get very close to it. On the way back you stop at a cenote / cave for more swimming. The trip is nice and very pretty.
Hiking drive to Campomento Tamul. The last 5 miles of the road is pretty rough. You will have to pay $20 pesos to pass a gate at one point. Then there is an entry fee cost of $50 pesos per person plus $20 for parking. The hike is 1 km but it is very pretty. Then you climb down some really old stair ladders. And you can see the waterfall from the side. You get much closer than with the boats. There's no easy way down to the water and the river is flowing very fast. Not a good place to swim at the bottom, but there are areas to swim at the top of the waterfall.
The first time I tried to hike to the waterfall there were people who told me It was no longer an option. They were at the mouth of the road in El Naranjito. They said it was private property and I had to go with a tour and it was at least $1000 pesos. I didn't want to pay that much so I left. I came back a different day and they were not there. I continued down the road and nobody said anything to me. I got to a gate about halfway and paid a guy 20 pesos to continue. He seemed happy and did not tell me I needed a guide. I think it was his private property. Then I got to the entrance and paid 50 pesos to a lady. She was really happy and didn't say I needed a guide. It all worked out. This was January 2022.

There are two entrances / 2 ways to go there. Both of them are difficult. 1st one is the more difficult one. you’ll have to drive on a extremely rocky small road, pay 20 pesos per person, then keep on driving on the rocky small road again. Our car is 4-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz, but still I felt like my car was about to be shaken apart. And you might get lost because that’s are some Fork in the road where there’s no sign. And if you are lucky enough to get through all these, you’ll arrive at a so called “hotel”. You can park outside and walk through the “hotel” and pay 50 pesos per person plus per car. Then you’ll walk a long way, better wear a good pair of sneakers. Walk, climb, climb up and down the mountains on the wild path…. Better be care and don’t get lost….If you love climbing wild mountains, this may be good for you….we finally get to a place where you can over look the top part of the waterfall from the side…then we gave up. Maybe keep going will get you to a beautiful place where you can see the whole waterfall from side ( I don’t think you can see from the front because of the narrow gorge), but……As for the 2nd entrance/ way, you’ll have to paddle all the way there and back, only seeing the waterfall from far and side for some time. if you are a small group, get lucky to join with others for one boat, otherwise they will charge you for a whole boat ( 1600 pesos per boat, 200 pesos per person if 8 people). Lots of padding and hot sun….but you may make some friends, paddle as a team, splash one another and water fight with other boat. The last but not the least, stop the boat on the way back, climb up a little hill and swim in a cave, which is a unique experience. Overall if you are looking for swimming below or near a waterfall or a relaxing vacation, it’s not for you.

The Tamul Waterfall in the Huasteca region, is the jewel of the potosine waterfalls.
This picture was taken towards the end of the rainy season. That’s why the Gallinas river carries a lot of water and falls ca. 300 meters wide and 105 meters deep into the Santa María River - which from this point changes its name to Tampaón. The rainy season is the reasons why the Santa María River hasn’t is typical turquoise color - a trade of well worth as you can see the beautiful turquoise water when you follow the Gallinas along a narrow trail to the top of waterfall from where you decent a couple of steep and a bit sketchy metal letters to the base of the fall where this picture was taken.

A MUST see! You have to drive 5 km off a dirt road to get there. On the way there a bunch of kids stopped us, took down the driver's name and how many passengers were with him, where we were coming from, and made us tip them (still not sure what happened there). After a couple km of the dirt road, we came to a gate where we had to pay a MXN$20 toll to a young lady who was manning it (for her family from what it seemed like). Told us (in Spanish) that we'd come to a three-way fork on the road and to take the one on the far right. There was another gate after that and if it's closed she said you can just open it. We kept following the dirt road until our Google Maps stops, then made a left (like the lady to us to). We went along the river for a bit and came to a parking lot. We stopped where there were signs listing the prices of entry for the waterfall. MXN$30 per person, MXN$20 per car, and restrooms were MXN$5. The hike takes you to a spot where you can take a dip at the top of the waterfall or you can climb down the stairs/ladder to the bottom of the waterfall and see the spectacular view from below. Definitely go to the bottom and get close to the waterfall. It's gorgeous.
Cave of Swallows, also known as Sotano de las Golondrinas, is a natural wonder located in the El Pueblo Magico de Aquismon in the Huasteca Potosina region. The name Aquismon means "tree at the foot of a well" in Huasteco, likely referring to this impressive cave. Visitors are advised to come prepared with comfortable shoes and water, especially for the descent down numerous steps.
Walking down the stairs make feel alive 😃, however going up show you how beautiful nature jungle have the 🌍

Locals warn you about the 700 steps to go down and climb back. But it’s easy and safe. I saw many seniors going down and up with their families or couples.
Make sure to be there a little before 5:30 pm if you go in the afternoon.
Bring water and comfortable and good tennis or hike shoes. There’s no comfortable place to sit, but it’s ok, remember you are in a natural spot, not in the movies! Enjoy this unique place and wonder of nature.
Locals are doing a great job to make the experience safe, comfortable and organized. Be respectful to them and the basic rules.

Recommend to take comfortable shoes, water, or something to support your back if you have back problems.
I loved it, you have to go down a lot of steps, there are stations where you can buy water, or they let you borrow a cane! Depending on the weather, rocks can be slippery, make sure you take slip resistant shoes.
Note: don't forget to leave a little something for the volunteers. Couple of pesos! They are out there making sure you stay safe!

The best experience of my life! You can't miss it.
We stayed about 5 mins from the entrance, consider 30 mins to get to the parking area, then you cross the entrance by foot and go down about 500 stairs, make you sure you are there before 7 am, which is the time the swallows started to leave the cave.
We saw about 1 millions beautiful swallows, fly in circles! And also if you stay quite you will see small green parrots flying around, they all flew above us. This lasts about 1 hour.
Make sure you ask about the scheduling before you go, as swallows leave at different times, depending on the weather.
You can also see them in the afternoon, about 4pm.
Its a long way down, but totally worth it!

Make sure early enough to watch this natural phenomenon. The birds start waking up at dawn and within 30 minutes most of them have flown away. Allow 20 minutes to reach the viewing point from the parking lot (it’s steep and dark, but there are steps).

One of the most amazing places I've visited. Of course you need to be there just before sunrise and wait till the birds swirl out, or before sunset. Standing at the border and the birds "falling into the pit" just not touching you is amazing. The surroundings are astonishingly beautiful as well.

If you love to just sit quietly and watch nature do its thing, then this is an ideal place for you. It's definitely off the beaten path (figuratively and literally) so it will take some planning to get there. Once you arrive you will walk some rugged terrain to the location, but both the morning and evening shows are certainly worth it.

The Cascadas de Minas Viejas is a remarkable natural attraction located 78km northwest of Ciudad Valles. The site boasts a stunning waterfall with a 55m drop that cascades into an enchanting aquamarine pool, surrounded by trees that add to the picturesque scenery. Additionally, there are numerous smaller waterfalls and pools dropping over terraces, making it popular among adventure groups for jumping activities.
Entry fee cost: $60 pesos
Life Jacket Rental: $30
Parking: $30
Waterfall super beautiful. Sun hits it in the afternoon. Water is beautiful blue color. Life jacket rental is at the bottom by the water so you can decide when you get there. Not a large area for swimming. Waterfall is so pretty. Very worth the visit if you like waterfalls. But the whole thing is just one waterfall(as opposed to some other locations in the area).
Dan Klonowski — Google review
Cascadas minas viejas has two main areas one where the waterfall is. You are able to swim, dive, climb up the waterfall and take a plunge.
The second area you are able to jump and swim it has more shade
There are stairs (down) that take you to the waterfall. Along a part of the stairs there are shops to buy souvenirs.
Lifejacket is not optional.

Went for the weekend with some friends paid 60 pesos for the entrance fee and enjoyed the best waterfall in the area. With pools of clear water. 25 pesos for the showers and 10 pesos to use the restrooms very remote and safe place to visit. Also you can take your own picnic and you have to wear a lifejacket if you don't take your own they rent them there at about 80 pesos all day. Enjoyed our adventure but definitely be ready for a walk up and down the stairs to get to the waterfall that's definitely worth it !

Super fun! I definitely recommend very beautiful area to relax or if you’re looking for an adventure try the waterfall jumping tour for 200 pesos per person. Take your phone in a water proof bag or waterproof camera. Water shoes are necessary for all of the parks in this area so it’s worth buying. I recommend you spend the night at the cabin around the corner selva teenek! It’s five minutes away. If you only have a few days to enjoy la huasteca I would go to Tamasopo and puente de Dios the day after.

Parking was free, pay 40 pesos per person to enter, walk about 10 minutes down to river. Don't bring anything but pesos with you, and towels. Then pay 180 pesos each for jumping and swimming down the river/waterfalls. We didn't ask about the other activities. On the plus side, the guided take pictures and send them via WhatsApp and this is included in the 180 pesos :) The experience was awesome. I didn't like how you must pay to get to the river and then pay for activities, and that once you pay you need to return everything to your car because there isn't a secure way to store anything down at the river, nor that after they issue your helmet and life preserver you must walk up stairs to reach the road and walk further up the road ... but jumping the waterfalls and floating/swimming the cold river was a very enjoyable experience. There is food sold, tasted good, and coffee plus other beverages. Before you enter there are many water shoes and clothes for sale, as well as tourist stuff.
Beckett Prado — Google review
Absolutely stunning. I went with my family and it did not disappoint. It's easy to spend a whole day here and enjoy the scenery. While it does cost a few pesos to swim (you need a life jacket to swim by the waterfall), it's worth every peso to swim and explore this beautiful landscape. The tourist shops are also very worth it as well, selling waterproof cases for your phone (with straps to not lose it!), coffee bean earrings, handmade goods, pet toys, and souvenirs galore, it's a wonder that this place isn't more popular. Truly a hidden gem. (Also, if you're planning to go here, bring your own toilet paper! This is common in Mexico, but if you want toilet paper here, it costs a few extra pesos that you could save.)
Cassie Rivera Huber — Google review
The admission is very affordable. You can take your own food or there are plenty of vendors. If you want to swim at the head of the park, signs everywhere says you have to have a life vest. Great place for camping or a visit. The entrance road is pretty rough, but as all things in Mexico, this may change tomorrow.

Not sure if this is worth going to if you're not doing some sort of water/tour group activity here as well. It's definitely beautiful, don't get me wrong, I just think other waterfalls/sites around the region are more worth your time if you have a tight schedule.

Huasteca Potosina Tours offer specific English-speaking tours at 10 am and 3 pm, which can be purchased online in advance. The place is described as magical, with stunning waterfalls and mesmerizing blue rivers that make it a must-visit for a couple of days. It's recommended to have your own transportation due to high season crowds. The area is hot and humid with mosquitoes, so bringing repellent is advised.
A magical place to visit! The waterfalls and the amazing blue water of the rivers are really something’s special!
Make sure to plan to stay for a couple of days. It’s best to have your own transportation as it gets crowded at the beautiful spots in high season judging from the photos. I was there in mid October 2022 and had some of the places almost for myself in the mornings
The place is hot and humid and hat quite some mosquitoes when I was there so make sure to bring your repellent along.

I decided to book the 4 day pack. It was perfect. Amazing price (about $350). This included the hotel quinta mar (which was a great place), included the breakfast tickets to eat at the hotel (actual big plates of food, not just your low continental breakfast), also included a meal at the end of the day after every tour (every place the guides take you is amazing food), the entrance fee for every "park" you book, transportation in comfy vans with ac (they pick you up and drop you off at the hotel), and all this on top of amazing guides that's know it all.
Our guides were Pepe (he went above and beyond, our favorite), Juan (went beyond and was awesome), David (amazing and super friendly), and Wilbur? (He also was great). Then the person that helped me get the process done, Tania, she was amazing and helpful through the whole process.
For paying the 20% down, I just went to an oxxo and did the transfer. It was super easy and tool like 3 min. Don't feel sketch about it.

This place is magical!! The pictures cannot do it the justice it deserves. It can get crowded, but try and find a spot where you can enjoy the incredible waterfalls, the lush scenery, and get back in touch with your spiritual side.
The water is refreshingingly clear. The locals are all incredibly welcoming and friendly.
Definitely try the pulque!! It is a very unique drink.

Great place to visit and the surrounding area is amazing! Spend a few days in the area if you can and check out all the waterfalls!
