Cascadas de Agua Azul, located in Chiapas, Mexico, is a stunning series of waterfalls known for their vibrant turquoise waters. The falls are generally accessible via maintained paths, though some areas may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Solo visits are possible and safe, but guided tours offer deeper insights into the local ecosystem and culture. The dry season (December to May) offers the clearest water, while the rainy season (June to November) can make the waters murkier due to increased sediment. Entry fees are typically around $3-5 USD, and a typical visit lasts 2-4 hours, allowing ample time to explore the different cascades and swimming areas. Be aware of strong currents if swimming and consider hiring a local guide to ensure a safe and enriching experience.
