Waterfalls and lakes

Published on May, 2023

The waterfalls were gorgeous, and the lakes and border towns were incredible. Really enjoyed the international park. The first lake wanted almost $80 to go on the rafts, so we went to a lake with a nice little shopping area instead. Remember to bring cash as none of these places take card, and to bring your swimsuit for the lake!

Great tour, great part of Mexico

Published on Nov, 2022

This was a great day; the waterfall is amazing as are the lakes. The tour guide was amazing. Working from before 6 in the morning till after 10 at night on a Sunday and really should be commended. Unfortunately, the weather let us down and it rained quite a lot while visiting the lakes. The tour guide amended the tour as none of us wanted to do the raft activity and we visited the Guatemala border instead. Had a great time all thanks to the guide whose name I can't remember.

Wonderful day and much better experience

Published on Jun, 2022

I had a terrible 1 star experience with this tour company on their Sumidero Canyon tour the previous day, but I was pleasantly surprised when I did this tour the following day, and everything went perfectly. The pick up was on time and well done. The places we stopped were fantastic. The waterfalls are out of this world. The driver, Jose, was great. We spent many hours in the van that day, but Jose was able to relay the necessary information in a way that I could understand with my limited Spanish.

One of my best experiences

Published on Mar, 2022

Am still sore because the hike but super happy to see these wonderful cascades and Lagunas de Montebello, special mention to my driver was a real help!

Published on Aug, 2021

El Chiflon is great . Take a hoodie because it can get chilly at the lakes . Take some swim gear . Take cash for the activities. Wear comfortable footwear for the steps at the waterfall
