The stunning cascades of Minas Viejas are well worth the 78km trip northwest from Ciudad Valles, if only to see the gorgeous turquoise waters here. The site comprises a principal waterfall with a drop of 55m plus a stunning water pool. From here, a series of smaller cascades and pools drop over terraces. It’s a popular destination for adventure groups who jump over the terraces. Bird-watchers might find some feathered rewards hiding in the surrounding forest undergrowth.
