These amazing waterfalls get their name “Cascadas de Agua Azul” (blue waterfalls) from the blue color of the water on a sunny day. These waterfalls can be found in the beautiful state of Chiapas. They are located about an hour drive from the ruins of Palenque so you can easily visit the ruins in the morning when it’s not too hot and then go to the waterfalls to refresh yourself.

In order to get to the waterfalls you can either pay for a tour that will include not just going to the ruins of Palenque but also going to these waterfalls as well as other smaller ones, or you can rent a car and drive there. The road to get to the falls is in very good condition but you have to drive carefully because of the many curves you will find and also because you are driving in the mountains. Of course, I guarantee amazing views as you drive to get there.

Once you get to the waterfalls, you will be able to swim in very clean and refreshing waters. Among the different things that you can do there besides swimming, are: buying handcrafts, eating, taking pictures, having a picnic, and hiking.

I have been to the waterfalls togheter with my wife and some friends and we had a wonderful time. We first went to the ruins in Palenque and spent there a couple of hours and then we drove to the falls. By the time we got there, we were so hot and swetty that we got into the water right away. We also bought some handcrafts and had lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, we spent some time walking around the park and taking lots of pictures. Anyway, if you ever get the chance to visit mexico and if you love nature, you must come to chiapas and see some of its beautiful places like this one.
