Agua Azul Waterfalls

About

The Agua Azul Waterfalls stretch for over a kilometer, showcasing tumbling cascades and pools of bright blue water. The high mineral content in this stretch of the Xanil River has encased the rocks and fallen trees in a thick coating of limestone over time, resulting in elegantly-curved formations. A path works its way along the river bank, treating visitors to beautiful views of the cascades and the dense jungle, culminating in a viewing platform that looks out over the entire stretch of the Agua Azul Waterfalls. Along the way, there are numerous small restaurants where you can stop to enjoy a bite to eat while taking in the view.
