Being located near the Hacienda Apulco, it is exactly there from where you can have a spectacular view of the beautiful waterfall. It is a vertiginous waterfall that has sculpted the rock in whimsical ways, producing a deep sound when it bounces off the rocks.
Its waters flow into a circular canyon resembling a pot, which is almost impossible to access, so the waterfall can only be seen from a viewpoint.
It is almost 35 meters high and consists of two falls surrounded by large rocks and lush vegetation, ending in a pool.
The watercourse continues until it passes under the Santa María Tres Arroyos Estate, ultimately flowing into the Atotocoyan Dam.
It is worth noting that at the estate, sugarcane “aguardiente” is distilled in white oak barrels, a tradition that has lasted for decades. Here, you can taste liquors of various flavors, some very uncommon, like Xolixpa herbal liquor. From here you can also enjoy an incredible view of the Apulco River.
