Die Huasteca Potosina befindet sich im Osten des Staates San Luis Potosi. Die Gegend gilt als absoluter Geheimtipp, liegt sie doch weit abseits von den bekannteren touristischen Attraktionen Mexikos. Obwohl es keine eigentliche Wanderwege gibt, lässt es sich auf den kleinen Naturwegen, wo meist nur die Anwohner abgelegener Dörfer verkehren, in aller Ruhe wandern. Die Wasserfälle Micos und Tamul; oder der "Sotano de las Golondrinas" sowie "El Castillo del Inglés" oder "La Media Luna" sind ohne Probleme zu Fuss erreichbar. Sehenswürdigkeiten und Reisebericht der Wasserwelt Huasteca Potosina >>

The British aristocrat and millionaire Sir Edward James built this garden with its surrealistic concrete structures entwined by the jungle vegetation, in midst of an idyllic rainforest called Las Pozas or El Castillo del Ingles as the locals say, close to the village of Xilitla.

Sotano de las Golondrinas, the Cave of Swallows, with its depth of between 330 m and 370 m, is one of the world’s deepest pit caves. Thousands of swifts (birds similar to swallows) and parrots live in the niches of the vertical walls and offer an unusual spectacle when they circle around the entrance of the cave.

The waterfalls of Micos are like a set of stairs where the river Tamasopo gradually makes its way down. Several natural pools are perfect for swimming.

The ancient Aztecs called this place "Tam-Azote", Place of Waterfalls and yes you guessed correctly, there are several waterfalls and small lagoons around the lovely village of Tamasopo.

El Puente de Dios, one of the biggest attractions in the Huasteca Potosina in the state of San Luis Potosi, is a natural bridge or tunnel with an incredibly nice lagoon where waterfalls pour down on all sides.

The Rio Gallinas forms the spectacular Tamul Waterfall that crashes down from a height of 105 m on the Rio Tampaon. In the rainy season the breadth of the waterfall can be up to 300 m.
