Chiapas, in southern Mexico, has some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Americas, and it is an increasingly popular slow-travel base for nomads who want nature and very low costs.
Waterfalls worth the trip
- Agua Azul: a long series of bright turquoise cascades, the signature sight of Chiapas.
- Misol-Ha: a single 35 metre fall you can walk behind, near Palenque.
- El Chiflon: a chain of falls ending in the powerful Velo de Novia drop.
