What a spectacular place to go hiking and take in the views of this beautiful part of Puebla. Just…read morea heads up that the water is not for swimming. There is a spot for getting in the thermal but that was closed for renovation. Cool hanging bridge and the zip line seemed like s lot of fun it we did not go on it. The parking area and store and was very picturesque. We took a taxi to the three different parking spots and areas to hike, would not recommend walking to each spot. Just a beautiful and amazing place to hike. Well marked and developed with safety rails and great views of all the waterfalls.

Solo hay pequeñas secciones de escaleras al final del sendero para ver la cascada desde un ángulo diferente, pero si quieres ver la cascada desde abajo y mirar hacia arriba, no hay escaleras que vayan allí. Experiencia: esta es una hermosa y enorme cascada ubicada a las afueras de Zacatlán. Puede tomar la combi (autobús público) aquí, pero lo dejará en la misma entrada de este lugar donde paga 100 pesos por persona para ingresar, luego es una caminata muy, muy larga hasta el área de la cascada; o... otra opción es conducir aquí usted mismo o pedir un taxi que lo lleve hasta el fondo donde está la cascada. De cualquier manera que llegue desde la entrada a la cascada, debe pagar 100 pesos por persona sin importar qué. No puedo decirte lo hermoso que es este lugar... es muy verde, el agua fluye todo el tiempo y es probable que veas mariposas y otras criaturas pequeñas. ¡Recomiendo absolutamente venir aquí! Costo: 100 pesos por persona. Accessibility: this is like any other place out in nature, not huge wheelchair accessible, although it might be possible if you have someone else pushing your chair and making sure you don't get stuck and stranded (see photos for accessibility). There are only small sections of stairs at the very end of the trail to see the waterfall from a different angle, but if you want to see the waterfall from the bottom and look up at it, there are no stairs going there. Experience: this is a beautiful, huge waterfall located just outside of Zacatlán. You can take the combi (public bus) here but it will drop you off at the very entrance of this place where you pay 100 pesos per person to enter, then it is a very, very far walk down to the waterfall area; or...another option is driving here yourself or having a taxi drive you down to the bottom where the waterfall is. Whatever way you get from the entrance to the waterfall, you have to pay 100 pesos per person no matter what. I cannot tell you how beautiful this place is....it is very green, water flowing all the time, and you will likely see butterflies and other small creatures. I absolutely recommend coming here! Cost: 100 pesos per person.

I highly recommend visiting this park.

Such a beautiful park! This park seems to be historic- an…read moreold convent or a courtyard for a church or something. There are old columns that seem nearly ancient, lying on their side, and a glass greenhouse that either seems to be there to preserve the ancient ruins, or to protect plants. It's hard to tell which. There's all kinds cool plants around here- the park is meticulously landscaped. There weren't many people in the park, but it feels safe, as most of the park is surrounded by buildings, which makes for only a few access points to get in and out of the park. There's lots of public works of art here, interesting structures that seem to be preserved ruins along trails that meander around the park. Cool looking structures that seem to have no purpose other than looking nice abound in this park. Next to the park is a shopping mall full of modern shops, like Olive Garden, shoe stores, and other high end shops. There's a parking garage next to the park, which makes it easy to access the park.

After many trips to Mexico City, a friend told me about the Tolantongo Hot Springs. I began by…read moreresearching: #1 - Could the trip be done adequately in a day? #2 - Could I drive myself or hire a driver to save money? #3 - If going with a tour company, which was the best option? Here are my findings. Yes, the trip can be done in a day. I was staying in the Condesa and we got a very early start at 6am. It took 4 hours to arrive to Tolantongo. The route becomes confusing and I would not recommend driving yourself. A reputable private driver was actually going to cost MORE than the tour offered by Nomada. Of all the tour companies, I felt most comfortable with Misha at Nomada. She was quick to respond via email and WhatsApp and answered all of my questions. There was no - paying up-front via a web site. Everything about Nomada was professional and appreciated. My expectation was that David (my driver) was going to take me to Tolantongo and that I would explore and then return to the car. I was so happy when we arrived and he was getting geared up. He took me on the most amazing tour of the falls. He knew where the "Hidden Gems" were located. Because of his experience - my day was perfect. I 100% feel that I saw EVERYTHING and could not have done it better. Quick Advice: 1) Bring Sturdy Water Shoes (if you do not have any - there are many road side vendors that sell them on your way to the falls) 2) Don't bring lots of stuff with you into the falls. You just need yourself, and a waterproof camera or water protector for phone. (Side Note - I had a faulty protector for my phone - which filled up with water - I was so bummed thinking that my phone was destroyed. I can confirm that the iPhone X is WATER PROOF) I would still recommend to have the protector so that you can put around your neck. 3) There are lots of steps and places that require physical ability. You can certainly take a relaxing trip - but you will not see the 'hidden gems'. 4) MOST IMPORTANT - make sure to visit on a weekday. I went on a Friday and it was perfect. David (my tour guide) told me how the park fills up on weekends. After a long drive - I would be super annoyed to be in nature and to have lots of people around me and then all of the traffic to come home. I hope this helps!! Viva #NomadaMexico

Accesibilidad: este lugar no es accesible para sillas de ruedas en absoluto, y tampoco lo son los…read morebaños aquí. Todos los puestos son demasiado pequeños. Si eres un usuario de silla de ruedas, lamentablemente no te recomiendo venir aquí. Experiencia: este lugar es absolutamente increíble. La entrada se basa en donaciones, por lo que solo paga si lo desea. Estacionas tu vehículo en un estacionamiento de tierra/rocas fuera de la entrada y luego entras. Una vez dentro, puede caminar hasta las estructuras rocosas por las que este lugar es famoso, puede alquilar una bicicleta y pasear hasta allí, puede montar a caballo (los precios se muestran en mis fotos) o puede subirse a un carro tirado por caballos (precios también mostrados en fotos). Hay un baño aquí en la entrada, así como afuera de un restaurante (a 10 minutos a pie de la entrada), y baños más alejados. Tienes el libre albedrío de caminar por cualquier lugar, y te sugiero que hagas un paseo a caballo o en carreta si puedes caminar. Este lugar no es accesible para sillas de ruedas. Apto para niños: este lugar es extremadamente apto para niños, ya que hay cambiadores dentro de los baños, hay un juego de columpios para niños cerca del restaurante a 10 minutos a pie de la entrada, hay laberintos, ponis para que los niños los monten, bolas/burbujas de plástico gigantes en los que puedes entrar y rodar, bombardear a otras personas en ellos, ¡y más! Honestamente, nunca he visto un espacio más amigable para los niños en Puebla. Accessibility: this place is not wheelchair accessible at all, and neither are the bathrooms here. All of the stalls are too small. If you are a wheelchair user I do not recommend coming here sadly. Experience: this place is absolutely incredible. The entrance is donation based, so you only pay if you want to. You park your vehicle in a dirt/rock parking lot outside the entrance then walk inside. Once inside, you can either walk to the rock structures this place is famous for, you can rent a bike and ride there, you can ride a horse (prices listed in my photos), or you can get inside a wagon that is pulled by horses (prices also shown in photos). There is a restroom here at the entrance as well as outside a restaurant (10 minute walk from the entrance), and restrooms farther out. You have the free will to walk around anywhere, and I suggest this over a horseback ride or wagon ride if you are able to walk. This place is not wheelchair accessible AT ALL. Kid friendly: this place is extremely kid friendly as there are changing tables inside the bathrooms, there is a swing set for kids near the restaurant 10 minutes walking from the entrance, there are mazes, ponies for kids to ride, giant plastic balls/bubbles that you can get inside of and roll around in, bombing into other people in them, and more! I have honestly never seen a more kid friendly space in Puebla.
