La Granada Waterfalls

  Coatepec, Veracruz

Planning on being on vacation in the city of Veracruz?  Well, this is the most amazing day trip you can do if you want to visit a ‘pueblo magico’ about an hour away from the beautiful port city of Veracruz.   The place is called Coatepec.  Once you arrive to the town, you can grab some delicious cheap food at one of the restaurants surrounding the charming zocalo (city square) and just do some people watching and experience life as it should be.
Then I suggest picking up some bottled water as the hike up to see the waterfall can take a solid hour.  To get to the beginning of the path to see La Granada waterfalls, just follow the signs through the town and you’ll get to a place where you can leave your car.  You’ll see that it will be pretty much just you and the wilderness.
Now the hike begins.  It’s a bit off the beaten track so don’t expect many people, you’ll be lucky if you see a couple of locals enjoying the waterfall.   The hike is not too tough but it’s a nice workout.  Once you get to the waterfall area, if you want to get real close, prepare to take off your shoes and walk through the river to cross over to the bottom of the falls.  I’m telling you, it’s heaven!

Misol-Ha Means Streaming Water

River Misol-Ha is one of the three major waterfall attractions in mexico. This particular waterfalls is found in the “Chol” area of Chiapas which stands to be one of the most amazing sights of the city. It shows a great display of the river smoothly gliding off the edge of the tall cliff, which measures about 35 meters and down into the deep waters surrounded by fresh vegetation.

Many scuba divers have said that the water at the foot of the waterfall attraction is about 45 feet deep which could be real dangerous for most visitors who are not good swimmers. Nevertheless, its water is very cool and refreshing. Another scuba diver also gave accounts that the pool’s center is cone-shaped which has a 6 feet diameter opening. This could be a waterway that leads to subterranean parts downstream.
There is a tiny walkway which could lead you behind the curtain of the waterfalls. There are also some available cave tours right behind it.
