Complete Huasteca Package
The definitive experience
The full plan
Day-by-day itinerary
Arrival + Surrealist Route (Edward James)
We meet you and you check in at the hotel. Since Las Pozas is minutes away, that same day we visit Edward James's surrealist garden.
The world's most enigmatic sculpture garden, the crystal-clear waters of the Huichihuayán Spring, the living shadows of the Quilas Cave and the colonial architecture of the Castillo de la Salud. Culture and nature fused into one extraordinary day.
Tamul Expedition
The big day: the lookout over the Sótano de las Huahuas, Tamul Waterfall by boat and the Water Cave.
Paddle by canoe through the Tampaón Canyon to Tamul Waterfall — the tallest in Mexico — peer into the immense abyss of the Sótano de las Huahuas, and finish by diving into the underground magic of the Water Cave. A day that redefines what nature can offer you.
Stepped Paradise (or the Water Route, your choice)
Minas Viejas and the Micos Waterfalls. If you'd rather, we swap it for the Water Route at Puente de Dios.
Minas Viejas unfolds its jade-colored travertine terraces that look hand-painted; the Micos Waterfalls chain turquoise pools through the tropical jungle. The ideal tour for those seeking authentic beauty, crystal-clear waters and moments of peace far from the noise.

How to get here
Trip logistics
Public transport times and fares are approximate and change with the season — confirm them when you book.
By car
- From Mexico City: ~5.5 hours (about 339 km).
- From the city of San Luis Potosí: ~5 hours.
- The approach to Xilitla is a mountain road with tight bends and fog: we recommend driving in daylight, slowly and with a full tank.
By plane
- The most practical airport is Tampico (TAM): ~2.5 h to Xilitla and ~2 h to Ciudad Valles.
- Alternatives: San Luis Potosí (~5 h), Querétaro (via Jalpan) or Mexico City / AIFA (further away).
- From the airport it's best to rent a car or take a private transfer, since the buses leave from city terminals, not the airport.
By bus
- From Mexico City there's an overnight departure from the Terminal Central del Norte at around 10:15 PM (Servicios Coordinados, Transportes Frontera and ETN).
- It reaches Xilitla in the morning (about 6:30 AM); the trip takes ~9–10 h. Fares are roughly $520–$900 MXN per person.
- If you arrive on that morning bus, we can start the first tour that same day.
Once you're in the area
Once you're in the area, our transport takes you from the hotel to the start of each tour and back. For reference: Xilitla is ~40 min from Aquismón and ~1 h from Ciudad Valles; Ciudad Valles is ~50 min from Tamasopo.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price per person or per couple?+
Package prices are per couple (2 people). For groups, families or extra people we put together a quote tailored to you — message us on WhatsApp.
How do I get to Xilitla?+
You can come by car, by plane (Tampico is the most practical airport) or on the overnight bus from Mexico City (Terminal Norte, ~10:15 PM, arriving ~6:30 AM). The 'How to get here' section above explains each option in detail.
How do I get to Xilitla from Mexico City?+
The most practical way is the overnight bus from the Terminal Central del Norte (~10:15 PM, Servicios Coordinados / ETN), which reaches Xilitla around 6:30 AM for about $650 per person. A taxi of roughly $60 drops you at the hotel in 7 minutes. Since you arrive at dawn, we give you your room early so you can rest, and your first tour starts that same day: you don't lose Day 1.
Can I choose my room?+
Yes. Hotel Paraíso Encantado has several rooms (Orquídeas, Bromelias, Lirios and Jungla). The jungle-view rooms are included in the price; the Jungla room, with a mountain view, carries a supplement of $400 MXN per night.
Does the price include getting to Xilitla?+
It isn't included, but we do arrange it separately: we offer private transfers from San Luis Potosí (from $6,000 round trip per vehicle), Tampico (from $5,000 round trip per vehicle), CDMX (from $14,000 round trip per vehicle). The package price does cover transport from the hotel to the start of each tour and back. If you'd rather make your own way, the 'How to get here' section lists the car, plane and bus options.
How do you confirm availability?+
