Cascadas Magicas Waterfalls Excursion
Your visit to Huatulco will not be complete without the waterfalls excursion.
Cascadas Magicas roughly translates to Magical Waterfalls, and that is how many describe their experience there.
This magical waterfalls experience is the result of the Copalitilla river travelling down a couple of miles of steep mountains. Trees, flowers & other vegetation surround the area, giving it a tropical atmosphere that one would expect in some of the best movie sets.
The tour follows a foot trail along the river, which brings you past several large cascades. The best, and most scenic part of the waterfalls excursion, is toward the end, or about a 10-15 minute walk away. Make sure you have your swim shorts. Swinging ropes hanging from tropical trees allow you to make a big splash in the nicely pooled water. There are also caves with water flowing, that you can wade through. One cave even goes right behind the waterfalls.
Once you have had your fill of swimming & adventure, make sure you have some extra pesos to grab a meal at the restaurant, which offers numerous local dishes for an authentic taste of Mexico.
All in all, this is one of the best Huatulco Tours available. It incorporates swimming, nature, wildlife, and local foods. If you are spending time in Huatulco, you do not want to miss the Cascadas Magicas experience.

This excursion option does cost an extra $20 USD, though, so make sure you have some extra cash with you.
