About this tour
Rappel down the wall of the Tampaón canyon with Tamul Waterfall roaring beside you. Professional gear, certified guides and aerial drone photography to prove you did it. The most extreme experience in the Huasteca Potosina — beginner-friendly too.
There are few places in the world where you can hang from a rope facing one of your country's tallest waterfalls. Tamul Waterfall — 105 meters of water plunging into the Tampaón River — is the backdrop of this experience, and the moment you peer over the canyon edge you understand why everyone who does it can't stop talking about it.
We start at the river dock, our meeting point, where we hand you the full gear and our high-mountain guides give you a technique briefing. No prior experience needed: the first descent is guided step by step and most of our visitors had never touched a rope before. All you need is the will to do it.
Once secured to the harness, you begin to descend the limestone wall draped in vegetation, with the waterfall beside you spraying cool mist over you and the river's turquoise water waiting below. The sound is deafening, the scenery unreal, and for those minutes nothing else in the world exists. Our photographer follows you from the air with a drone and from the ground, so every second is captured in photo and video — included in your booking at no extra cost.
The activity lasts 3 to 5 hours depending on the group and the weather. The price includes all safety gear and professional documentation, but does not include transportation or meals: transport to the dock can be arranged separately for an additional cost, or you can make your own way there. If you're after the story you'll tell for the rest of your life, it starts here.

“Nunca había hecho rappel en mi vida y bajar frente a la Cascada de Tamul fue una locura. Los guías te aseguran súper bien y te explican todo paso a paso. El rocío de la cascada pegándote mientras bajas es algo que no se me va a olvidar. Las fotos con dron quedaron de revista.”

“La experiencia más adrenalínica que he hecho. Me daba pánico al principio pero el guía me dio toda la confianza. Estar colgada con el río turquesa abajo y la cascada al lado es indescriptible. El video que te dan al final lo he visto como veinte veces.”

“Equipo en excelente estado y guías muy profesionales. Llegamos por nuestra cuenta al embarcadero, súper fácil de encontrar. Vale cada peso. Si vienes a la Huasteca y te gusta la aventura, este rappel es obligatorio.”
