What guests say
"Cascades incroyables. On peut vraiment se baigner, pas juste regarder. Le guide Ch'ol nous a raconté l'histoire du lieu et de la communauté — ça change tout par rapport aux visites de groupes qui débarquent en van."
"Three tiers of pools, all swimmable. Bring water shoes — the rocks are slippery. Way better than Agua Azul which was murky when we visited."
"Guía local muy amable, nos llevó a un salto que no está en el mapa. Comimos con la familia de la cooperativa al mediodía — pescado fresco del río."
