Enjoy the impressive waterfalls called "Agua Azul" (Blue Water), surrounded by mountains and with lush of the Lacandona region. You can walk or take a horseback riding through the tropical jungle, to get to the internationally famous waterfalls, due to its beauty and colors.

Agua Azul is a long series of glittering cascades coursing over kilometers of lush valleys in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas Mountains. The powerful, shimmering falls, white water and deep, clear pools, rush through steaming jungle about 50km from the town of Palenque. With sparkling turquoise water set against a deep green jungle background, the falls are probably one of the most spectacular natural attractions in México. They are beautiful to look at and, I was to learn, treacherous in places. When the group I toured with arrived, I read a sign close by warning of the dangers. In several places along the banks were commemorative crosses for ones that had drowned in this Dangerous Beauty.

Agua Azul are one of the most known waterfalls in Chiapas. Its beautifullness appeals thousands of tourists every year. The place has become one of the touristic attractions you should not miss. A typical visit to the place includes a walk through a path that goes along the river Agua Azul to admire many of waterfalls formed and continues with a refreshing bath in one of the ponds. Ask for the safest place to swim since some of the waterfalls are not good for swimming.
