When talking about Chiapas, a region full of mountainous landscapes, exuberant fauna and vast, green jungles that merge with large watercourses that give constant life to these well-guarded treasures comes to mind. And precisely for lovers who are adventurous and seek to disconnect from the city reality, there is a place that, without a doubt, will leave a pleasant experience marked for life: the Water Route.
It is a place nestled in the exuberant jungle of Chiapas, in the municipality of Palenque.
As part of the Water Route in Chiapas, Huextoc Natzin is a tourist center, which was born as an informal community project in 2014, formed by a group of ejidatarios from the Reforma de Ocampo community, concerned with promoting Nature Tourism.
The waterfall El Salto
In addition to the great natural wealth of its surroundings and its landscapes, one of the main attractions of this place is the El Salto waterfall, formed by the Chocoljá River, which forms natural jade-green pools as it passes, where you can swim freely. To get to the foot of the impressive waterfall, it is necessary to follow a path of approximately 400 m, a path in which there are three viewpoints from where the visitor can appreciate the great variety of flora and fauna characteristic of the region.
The Water Route promotes the conservation of natural resources
El Salto is a paradisiacal place of Chiapas, with a high potential to develop as an adventure and ecotourism destination due to its location and accessibility. In the tourist center you can do activities such as interpretive hiking, flora and fauna observation, visit and descent in waterfalls, natural spa, kayaking and rafting.
Currently, Huextoc Natzin has food services, a camping area, hammocks and kayaks. In addition, it is projected in the medium term as a highly competitive resort for the promotion and conservation of natural resources, in addition to integrating the community in sustainability activities.
If you are a lover of nature and come into direct contact with it, this center is open from monday to sunday 24 hours. To do this, contact your trusted travel agent in advance and schedule your next visit.
This natural wonder is 50 minutes from the city of Palenque and the best time to visit it is in the months from November to May, considered the season in which it rains less and for which the color of the water can be better appreciated.
