Tixhiñu Waterfall, Aculco, State of Mexico. In the State of Mexico, less than two hours from Mexico City, lies a ‘mini-Niagara’ hidden among basalt columns. Today, I’m taking you to Tixhiñú Waterfall, the cascade that paints the landscape of Aculco green and white. Tixhiñú Waterfall is a waterfall, between 15 and 25 meters high depending on the flow of the Ñadó River. It’s located near Aculco, a designated Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town). The falls cascade over a causeway of basalt columns that form a rocky amphitheater. During the rainy season, the flow makes it especially spectacular, which is why many call it “the mini-Niagara of the State of Mexico.” The waterfall is formed by the current of the Ñadó River and flows over a base of basalt columns, a geological structure that creates a very photogenic aesthetic. There are several waterfalls near Aculco, so it makes sense to include Tixhiñú as part of a mini-waterfall tour in this Pueblo Mágico. With plenty of sunshine and water flow, the waterfall can reach impressive heights and be quite a sight; however, during the dry season, the flow decreases significantly. The journey usually requires a hike, and there are trails of moderate difficulty. Entrance is generally free or has a symbolic fee managed by the community. In Aculco, water creates breathtaking landscapes: Tixhiñú Waterfall is proof that you don’t have to go far to find a wonder. Take care of it, share it with respect, and always return with the same awe you felt on your first visit. Would you like to visit Tixhiñú Waterfall? Let me know in the comments. Zempoala Lagoons, Morelos and the State of Mexico. There’s a place with seven lakes surrounded by forests, mountains, and mystical mist… less than an hour from Mexico City. Welcome to the Zempoala Lagoons, one of Mexico’s most accessible and stunning natural paradises. The Zempoala Lakes form a system of seven volcanic lakes located at over 2,800 meters above sea level, straddling the border between the states of Mexico and Morelos. The park is surrounded by dense forests of fir, pine, and oak, making it a cool, humid natural refuge teeming with wildlife. Its beauty is immediately apparent: mist-shrouded mountains, calm waters, verdant reflections, and trails that seem straight out of a movie. It is one of the most popular destinations for those seeking authentic nature without venturing too far from the city. The park’s seven lakes are: Zempoala, Tonatiahua, Seca, Prieta, Quila, Hueyapan, and Ahila, although not all of them have water year-round. “Zempoala” comes from the Nahuatl word “Cēmpoalātl,” meaning “twenty waters” or “places of abundant water,” alluding to the numerous springs in the area. The park is an internationally protected wetland . In winter, the combination of cold, forest, and mist creates a unique landscape. It was a historic crossroads on pre-Hispanic and colonial routes connecting the Valley of Mexico with Cuernavaca. It is considered a vital green space for central Mexico. Visitors to the park can enjoy hiking, picnicking in designated areas, horseback riding, birdwatching, and nature and landscape photography. Admission to the park is free. Depending on the season, there is a nominal parking fee. The Zempoala Lagoons remind us that nature is always there, waiting for us to pause for a moment to breathe and feel. If this forest made you dream, imagine what you will feel when you experience it in person. Take care of it, enjoy it… and let it bring you peace again each time you return. Are you ready to visit the Zempoala Lagoons? Share your thoughts in the comments. Blue Pools of Atzala, Guerrero. There is a place where you can swim in waters so blue they look painted. Very close to Mexico City are the Blue Pools of Atzala, a hidden sanctuary where nature transforms the water into crystal. The Blue Pools of Atzala are a series of small natural lagoons formed by underground streams that emerge in the mountainous area near the town of Atzala, in the municipality of Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero. Their main attraction is their intense turquoise blue tones, which vary depending on the time of year and the sunlight. This color is due to the high concentration of minerals, mainly carbonates and sulfates, as well as the water’s exceptional clarity. The water is so clear that you can see the entire bottom, even in the deepest pools. The Blue Pools of Atzala are natural pools surrounded by rock and low jungle. Each pool has its own size and depth, some perfect for swimming and others for relaxing in tranquil backwaters. During the rainy season, the pools connect with small waterfalls, allowing you to descend between them like a natural circuit. The Blue Pools of Atzala are considered one of the most photogenic places in Guerrero, after the Cacahuamilpa Caves and the Taxco area. Despite being near a very famous tourist destination, they remain relatively uncrowded, perfect for those seeking unspoiled nature. In some spots, the water gushes forth with such force that it forms natural whirlpools that serve as a natural hydromassage. It is believed that their name comes from Nahuatl and means “place where the blue water falls.” The contrast between the blue water and the green vegetation makes each pool seem like a unique wonder. Entrance costs between 50 and 80 pesos per person, managed by the community. Local guides are available and recommended if you plan to explore deeper pools. There are facilities at the entrance, including rustic restrooms, snacks for sale, and parking. The Blue Pools of Atzala remind us that nature is a gift that never comes around again. If we take care of these places, they will continue to be a refuge where time stands still and the water brings us back a little peace. Share, respect… and always return with an open heart.

There’s a forest so ancient it seems straight out of a fantasy film… and it’s less than two hours from Mexico City. Today I’m taking you to El Chico National Park, one of the most beautiful and surprising natural places near the capital. El Chico National Park, located in the heart of Hidalgo, is one of Mexico’s oldest national parks, established in 1898. It’s a natural sanctuary of mountains, cliffs, pine, fir, and oak forests, misty valleys, cool rivers, and areas perfect for adventure. It’s known for its mystical atmosphere: humid forests, gigantic moss-covered rocks, breathtaking viewpoints, and trails that feel like stepping into another world. The most famous formations are: La Peña del Cuervo (Crow’s Rock), a stunning viewpoint at over 2,700 meters above sea level; Las Peñas Las Ventanas (The Windows Rocks), monumental rock formations popular with climbers; and La Peña La Muela (The Molar Rock), an enormous boulder that offers epic telephoto shots. The forests feature giant moss-covered trees, trails shrouded in mist at dawn, and rays of sunlight filtering through the pines and firs. El Chico National Park was the first officially protected national park in Mexico, designated a nature reserve even before the Mexican Revolution. Its mining history is significant: this region was home to… Sixteenth-century mining routes and settlements dot the landscape. The area was part of the mining corridor connecting Real del Monte and Mineral del Chico. Ancient stone structures, dams, and historic roads create a unique atmosphere for filming. El Chico experiences frequent microclimates: sudden fog, light rain, mountain mist, and temperature changes that evoke the feeling of a European forest. It’s one of Mexico’s best spots for natural rock climbing . Its basalt formations are so stable that they attract climbers from all over the country. The higher elevations are home to volcano rabbits, lynxes, and other highland birds; though difficult to spot, they are a key part of the ecosystem. Around 7:00 am, a bank of fog typically rolls in, covering the entire valley—perfect for cinematic shots. The climate is cold and humid almost year-round. In winter, temperatures can drop below freezing. Activities here include hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, zip-lining, camping, photography, and flora observation. During the rainy season, avoid climbing slippery rocks without a guide or proper equipment. El Chico National Park is a reminder that nature still holds places where time seems to stand still. A forest that breathes history, magic, and silence. If you decide to visit, take care of it, explore it with respect… and allow it to give you back that sense of wonder that only a living mountain can offer.

Imagine swimming in a completely transparent river, where the water springs directly from the heart of the earth… Just a few hours from Mexico City lies a natural paradise called Las Estacas, a place where green, blue, and life blend together like nowhere else in Mexico. Las Estacas is a natural park and ecological resort famous for its crystal-clear river fed by an underground spring. Its water is so clear that you can effortlessly see fish, aquatic plants, and the movement of the current. Highlights include: The “El Borbollón” Spring, a natural source of water that releases millions of liters daily, creating a natural pool of turquoise blue hues. Río Verde, also known as Río Las Estacas, is ideal for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and swimming. The surrounding landscape resembles a natural “water garden.” Palm trees, centuries-old trees, gardens, and shady areas are perfect for escaping the city. Tropical fish, birds, and other aquatic life can be appreciated even without diving. More than 7,000 liters per second flow from the main spring, one of the most abundant in central Mexico. Its name, Las Estacas, comes from the historical practice of placing stakes on the riverbank to measure the river level. It is one of the few places near Mexico City where you can enjoy recreational diving in a natural river, a rare experience in Mexico. It was declared a Protected Natural Park in 1998, making it a prime example of responsible ecotourism. Prices may vary depending on the season. General admission is between 500 and 600 pesos per person. Lodging is available within the park, including camping, glamping, cabins, and a hotel. Las Estacas is not just a river: it’s a reminder that nature still holds corners where time stands still. If you decide to come, take care of it, respect it, and let yourself be surprised by the magic of the living water. Because beautiful places are visited… but places that touch the soul are remembered forever. Would you dare to visit Las Estacas? Leave your opinion in the comments. Grutas de la Estrella, Ixtapan de la Sal, State of Mexico. Just a few hours from Mexico City lies an underground world as ancient as the first civilizations on the planet. A labyrinth of stalactites, hidden rivers , and caverns that seem straight out of a fantasy film. Welcome to Grutas de la Estrella. Grutas de la Estrella are underground formations carved by thousands of years of water seepage that created: Stalactites and stalagmites that form whimsical shapes resembling stone waterfalls. Frozen curtains, columns, and even silhouettes of animals and human figures adorn the cave. The main grotto has several high-ceilinged chambers with echoes that create a mystical atmosphere. With warm artificial lighting, the visual effect is cinematic. During the tours, you can walk along walkways that cross a small underground river, which, at certain times of the year, allows for deeper exploration. One of the most famous areas is the “petrified waterfalls,” formed by mineral deposits that resemble rivers frozen in time. The caves were formed approximately 30 million years ago by the erosion of water seeping through the limestone. The grotto has been known to local inhabitants for over a century, but it was developed for tourism between 1960 and 1970, becoming one of the first natural attractions developed in the State of Mexico. Inside the cave, the temperature usually remains between 12°C and 18°C, regardless of the outside weather. These caverns were said to have been considered “gateways to the aquatic underworld” by indigenous peoples, who believed they were inhabited by protective spirits. The cave is fully equipped with metal stairs, handrails, scenic lighting, and trained guides. The road is easy to navigate, well-marked, and good for visitors and tourists. General admission is affordable, between 50 and 70 pesos. The guided tour is included in the admission price. The optional aquatic tour has an additional cost and is only available during certain seasons. At Grutas de la Estrella, we understand that the Earth is a patient artist. Every drop, every mineral, and every shadow reminds us that beneath our feet lies a world that still holds secrets. And upon leaving the cave, the sunlight seems more vibrant, as if nature were inviting us to continue exploring, to care for what we have, and to always return with greater respect and admiration.

Welcome to Ajusco, the place where Mexico City touches the sky. Ajusco is the highest point in Mexico City, at 3,930 meters, making it a privileged natural sanctuary that combines pine, fir, and oak forests. It’s a green, humid, and cool landscape. Ajusco has natural viewpoints with breathtaking vistas.

Classic rock formations and hills include Pico del Águila, Cruz del Marqués, and La Aceleración. They all offer different routes, from easy to very challenging. The low temperatures and occasional fog make Ajusco look like a European forest. In winter, it can even experience light snowfall.

Its forests are essential for replenishing the aquifers that supply the Valley of Mexico. It’s a place of legends: from luminous signals to pre-Hispanic stories about guardians of the forest. Ajusco is located south of Mexico City, within the Tlalpan borough. Access is generally free, but some routes and parking areas on private property may charge a small fee. Don’t go alone if it’s your first time , and stick to well-known trails. It’s perfect for disconnecting from the noise without leaving Mexico City. Ajusco is not just the highest mountain in the city. It’s the place where many residents of the capital breathe, dream, walk, and reconnect with what’s essential. A reminder that, even in one of the most populated cities in the world, There are still corners where nature remains silent to speak to us more clearly. And you… when are you going to let Ajusco surprise you? Comment if Ajusco is on your list of favorites. Mil Cascadas, Taxco, Guerrero. There is a canyon hidden among mountains where water cascades into more than 100 emerald pools, creating one of the most breathtaking landscapes in central Mexico. Just a few hours from Mexico City lies a surreal paradise in the state of Guerrero: Mil Cascadas, in Taxco. Mil Cascadas, also known as Las Granadas, is a natural system of waterfalls formed between limestone walls, where water flows down natural terraces, creating deep pools of turquoise, jade, and emerald hues. There are more than 20 main stepped pools, but it is said that in total there are over 100 smaller formations. Each one has a different depth and color. The falls range from 1 meter to more than 20 meters, creating an immersive sound and a unique atmosphere. Unlike other destinations, Mil Cascadas is virtually untouched by artificial structures, preserving a completely wild appearance. It’s 100% natural: not a single pool is man-made. The surroundings boast dense vegetation, with trees covering much of the canyon, creating a striking contrast between the dark green and the blue of the pools. There aren’t actually “a thousand,” but the number is used because the canyon has so many small and medium-sized waterfalls that locals began calling them “a thousand” to describe the impressive number of pools and cascades. Mil Cascadas is one of the most popular spots for waterfall jumping in central Mexico. There are designated areas where certified guides allow you to jump from heights of 3 to 8 meters. Water has sculpted the stone terraces over centuries. The emerald green color is not artificial; it’s due to the minerals present in the limestone and the direct sunlight. Cell phone service is minimal, so the experience is truly one of total disconnection. Mil Cascadas is one of those places that reminds you how incredible it is to live close to nature. Here, among green pools, rock walls, and the sound of water, you understand that Mexico holds corners that seem invented by the imagination. If you decide to come, take care of this paradise… so that many more can feel the same as you when they discover it. Would you dare to visit Mil Cascadas? Have you already been? Leave your opinion in the comments. Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park. Can you imagine walking among clouds, facing two giants that tell one of Mexico’s most famous love legends? Just a couple of hours from Mexico City, the impressive Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park awaits you, the living border between sky, snow, and volcanoes. Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park, created in 1935, is one of the most emblematic protected natural areas in the country. From afar it looks imposing, but being there is another story: walking through pine and fir forests, feeling the cold high-mountain climate, and contemplating the snow-capped silhouette of Iztaccíhuatl (“The Sleeping Woman”), while Popocatépetl smokes in the distance, is a cinematic experience. Popocatépetl is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. Its constant activity has shaped the landscape for millions of years. Iztaccíhuatl has a human shape; it is composed of several aligned peaks that resemble the silhouette of a reclining woman. It is the most famous love legend in Mexico. It tells the story of Princess Iztaccíhuatl and the warrior Popocatépetl. He, the eternal guardian. She, forever asleep. It was part of the pre-Hispanic route and the passage of Hernán Cortés. The Paso de Cortés (Cortés Pass), today one of the main access routes, is so named because it was the route used by the conquistadors to reach the Valley of Mexico. Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl National Park is one of the best places to see snow near Mexico City. During certain winters, Iztaccíhuatl boasts a stunning blanket of white. The climate is cold year-round and temperatures can drop below freezing in the early morning. It’s recommended to arrive early to avoid fog and access to the parking lot. Check for weather alerts. Before traveling to Popocatépetl, do not approach areas restricted due to volcanic activity and avoid ascents without a certified guide if you lack experience. Altitudes above 4,000 meters can cause altitude sickness. Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl are more than just mountains: they are giants that hold stories, legends, and part of the heart of Mexico. When you stand before them, you understand how immense this country is… and how small we are in the face of nature. If you are looking for a place that embraces you with its silence and reminds you how magnificent life is, this park awaits you. Would you dare to visit it? Comment if Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park surprises you as much as it surprised us. Kinjua Springs, San Pedro de Ayotoxtla, Hidalgo. There is an oasis of turquoise waters hidden in a ravine a few hours from Mexico City. Today I’m taking you to the Kinjua Springs, a nearly secret paradise in Metztitlán with stunning waters, canyons, and pools. The Kinjua Springs are a collection of pools and small waterfalls with crystal-clear turquoise water located in the town of San Pedro Ayotoxtla, in the municipality of Metztitlán, Hidalgo. They form in a rocky canyon where the water emerges with a mineral mixture that gives it its photogenic color and clarity. Fish can be seen in the pools, along with natural platforms perfect for swimming and exploring. The turquoise color is due to the water’s mineral composition and its exceptional clarity, which allows you to see fish swimming in the pools. The Kinjua Springs are located within the Barranca Corridor, part of the Metztitlán Canyon Reserve. This area boasts unique ecosystems with cacti, scrubland, and endemic species, making it an important environmental landmark. Kinjua Springs is a relatively new destination on the tourist scene: most reviews and local guides have emerged in recent years, which is why it still maintains an air of secrecy and tranquility. There are significant stretches of unpaved road on the approach, so a truck or vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. Some sections require a four-wheel-drive vehicle or leaving the car and walking. There is a symbolic entrance fee of about 100 pesos, which varies depending on the season. Cell phone service is often unavailable in the area ; there are composting toilets and campsites managed by the community or local operators. Arriving at Kinjua is a reminder that nature always holds hidden corners that seem straight out of a dream.
