About this tour
Explore the turquoise pools of El Meco Waterfall, climb to the panoramic lookout for a breathtaking perspective, and close the day before the imposing El Salto Waterfall. The most photogenic and accessible tour in the whole region.
There's a specific moment, around 10 AM, when the sunlight hits the pools of El Meco Waterfall at the perfect angle and the water turns literally neon turquoise. Professional photographers know about that moment. So do we — and we arrive at exactly that hour.
El Meco is perhaps the most photogenic tour in the entire region. Three different waterfalls — three textures, three heights, three kinds of pool — and a panoramic lookout from which the jungle stretches as far as the eye can see. No plastic slides, no booming speakers. Just authentic nature, perfect water and a guide who knows exactly where to position you for the best photo of your life.
El Salto Waterfall closes the day with 40 meters of free fall you hear before you see. If you're looking for the perfect tour for someone who has never seen a real waterfall — or for someone who has seen them all and wants something different — this is the one.

“El color del agua del Meco a las 10 AM es imposible. Nunca había visto algo así en México. El guía nos posicionó en el ángulo exacto para las fotos y el resultado fue espectacular. Tour muy bien organizado.”

“El mirador panorámico vale el esfuerzo de la subida —que tampoco es tan difícil. Ver la cascada desde arriba y luego bajar a nadar en ella es una experiencia completa. Lo recomiendo especialmente para quienes llevan cámara.”

“Fui en familia con mis hijos de 8 y 11 años. Dificultad perfecta para ellos, el guía fue muy paciente y las explicaciones de por qué el agua es de ese color les encantó. Definitivamente el tour más accesible y más bonito.”
