There are two amazing waterfalls, Aqua Azul and Misol Há, in the state of Chiapas. Aqua Azul is located just 69 kilometres past Palenque (a must see) on the road to San Cristóbal de las Casas (another must see). Both were packed with people swimming in them the day we were there. How Rob was able to get pictures without people in them I’ll never know.
The Cataratas de Agua Azul (Spanish for “Blue-water Falls”) is filled with beautiful blue water due to it’s high mineral content that comes from the limestone it cascades over as it fall into the pool below.
These pools make for great places to take a refreshing dip.
The Misol Há Waterfall with it’s thirty-meter (100 foot) drop is a stunning site when you first come upon it in the jungle. Only 20 kilometers past Palenque, it is an easy stop on your way to Agua Azul.
You are able to walk in behind the falls and look out through the water while a gentle mist cover you.
