Let us tell you more about some of the waterfalls that you can find on your next expedition to Chiapas.

Las Nubes Waterfalls

These waterfalls are hidden by the limits of the Lacandon Jungle and the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve. Their name comes from the breeze created by the numerous waterfalls of the Santo Domingo River.
