Agua Azul Waterfalls (Cascadas de Agua Azul) Tours and Tickets

I recently took the tour to Cascadas de Agua Azul, Misol-Ha, and the Palenque Archaeological Zone, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The itinerary was well organized, and each stop offered something unique and memorable. Be prepared, it is a looong day, but well worth it. Our first stop was at a breakfast buffet, which was sufficient, but mediocre ($120 peso). Then, we made our way to Agua Azul, where the turquoise waters and layered falls were even more stunning in person, although the waters were a bit diluted due to runoff. We had ample time to walk along the pathways, take photos, visit the surrounding markets, and enjoy the scenery. Misol-Ha was equally impressive—a powerful single-drop waterfall surrounded by lush jungle and howler monkeys. The trail (and cave) behind the falls added a fun sense of adventure. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly Palenque. Our guide provided insightful context about the site’s history, architecture, and cultural significance, making the ruins come alive. The combination of well-preserved structures and the surrounding rainforest created an unforgettable atmosphere. There are tour guides at Palenque if you chose to pay for a more in-depth history of the site and Mayan culture. Throughout the tour, our guide was professional, humorous, friendly, and attentive. The transitions between each location were smooth, and the entire day felt thoughtfully planned. This tour is a fantastic way to experience some of Chiapas’ most iconic natural and cultural treasures, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.

Wonderful informative guide made Palenque come alive. A very long day but super amazing. Beautiful waterfalls.

The visit to the ruins was spectacular - Carlos our guide was super knowledgeable, had lots of interesting facts and it was nice to see the place through his expert eyes. Our driver was really great, always driving responsibly and giving us cool tips about Palenque and restaurants. Lastly, the waterfalls were simply magestic, we were recommended to spend more time in Cascadas Agua Azul which was the right choice.
