Comment: The Tamul waterfull has to be one of the most breathtaking places to visit in all of Mexico. This past Sunday (10/13/204l drove from San Luis Potosi via the toll road, and it took about 3 hrs 45 minutes to ge there. Below are some pro tips!
1. Decide if you want to canoe to the waterfall or hike to it before you get to the entrance.
2. If you canoe, ask about the strength of the current, as it’s a 4 km ride and your rowing against the rivers current.
3. If you’re afraid of the water or whitewaters don’t canoe. Though not often, there have been instances where the canoe flips over or sinks and people need to swim to the side of the river, empty the canoe, and keep pushing through.
4. If you hike know 3 things:
a. You can hike to the overview but will still have to cross the river via a canoe to start your hike..
b. If you want to hike to the base, there’s some perilous stairs/ladders you’ll have to climb down/up. If you’re afraid of heights, this could prevent you from doing that.
c. If you want to dip in the water, you don’t need to climb down to the basin.
5. You can’t do this alone. You’ll need to hire someone at the entrance, and they’ll drive to where the journey begins. We paid $1000 pesos for 2 people. Which included transportation to the base via their car (not recommended to drive your rental) and the additional gate tickets to get to the base.
The guides were super nice and don’t make a lot of money. We did go in technically low season, which is why maybe the price was that, but my point is, don’t be cheap and remember to tip.
The total trip to hike is about 3 to 4 hrs depending on how much time to spend dipping your body in the water and at the base resting and taking pics!
I hope you enjoy it!

Comment: Boat trip was a great experience. You have water fights with all the other boats you meet. Be prepared for there not to be much water in the waterfall because of the lack of rain.

Comment: As everyone is explaining the two options. We took the boat paddling one and we are glad the way it turned out. We had to pay 10 pesos per person as parking for the car and 200 pesos for boat ride. Even when my kid was small, still he was charged which makes total sense. It is fun with water fight on the way and the option to swim in the cave. The total duration for the ride is 3 hours , can be more or slightly less based on the team you are paddling with. Incase flow of water is high you will have to get down from the boat and walk on the sides because while going you are driving against the water. There is no problem for food or water it is available at each point. There is place to change your wet clothes. Although for toilets you will have to walk 100 meters. People were super helpful as they explained everything in detail. Better to carry a water protector cover for your cellphone because there is a high chance it will get wet. There are shops selling it there also.

Comment: There are two entrances / 2 ways to go there. Both of them are difficult. 1st one is the more difficult one. you’ll have to drive on a extremely rocky small road, pay 20 pesos per person, then keep on driving on the rocky small road again. Our car is 4-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz, but still I felt like my car was about to be shaken apart. And you might get lost because that’s are some Fork in the road where there’s no sign. And if you are lucky enough to get through all these, you’ll arrive at a so called “hotel”. You can park outside and walk through the “hotel” and pay 50 pesos per person plus per car. Then you’ll walk a long way, better wear a good pair of sneakers. Walk, climb, climb up and down the mountains on the wild path…. Better be care and don’t get lost….If you love climbing wild mountains, this may be good for you….we finally get to a place where you can over look the top part of the waterfall from the side…then we gave up. Maybe keep going will get you to a beautiful place where you can see the whole waterfall from side ( I don’t think you can see from the front because of the narrow gorge), but……As for the 2nd entrance/ way, you’ll have to paddle all the way there and back, only seeing the waterfall from far and side for some time. if you are a small group, get lucky to join with others for one boat, otherwise they will charge you for a whole boat ( 1600 pesos per boat, 200 pesos per person if 8 people). Lots of padding and hot sun….but you may make some friends, paddle as a team, splash one another and water fight with other boat. The last but not the least, stop the boat on the way back, climb up a little hill and swim in a cave, which is a unique experience. Overall if you are looking for swimming below or near a waterfall or a relaxing vacation, it’s not for you.

Comment: Beautiful place in SLP, one of many tours they have available in the near town Valles.
Be prepared for some arm work out, walking and fun. You need river shoes , lots of sunscreen before the tour , water proof cover for cellphone or camera , cash and a positive open minded attitude. It’s a nice experience, if you have the opportunity to visit. ☀️☀️
