Very easy walk in this park. You will be pressured to get guild, not necessary. buy Tickets ONLINE. If monkeys or sloth spotted there will enough looking up to know where they are. The guides will have telescope for you to see animals better and find the snakes and small creatures so not a bad idea to hire. They have closed restaurant in park so white faced monkeys not hanging out there. You can bring sandwich and water but NO plastic water bottles.

Amazing experience swimming in the Bioluminescence, one of a kind.

It’s cool for a few minutes but gets old pretty quick. The light is dimmer than anything you see in pictures - looks like a faint white. Still a cool experience.

Beautiful location. We rented a kayak and paddled around the area for 2 hours. We could have easily spent longer. This is definitely a place for bird watchers to visit. We went early (8am) and by 10am it was getting pretty hot. There was not much wildlife to be seen other than birds, but the trees were gorgeous.

Very impressive almost unreal what goes on the water at night. This time around seen the bioluminescence white 🤍 and was able to swim in the water for about 30 minutes under a floating 🎪 tent... Once in a lifetime experience....

The birdwatching tour in the lagoon was a highlight of our trip to Puerto Escondido. We used Manglar Tours. This is a special place

Fake listing. Don’t pay these inflated prices. The laguna/lake is found 20 minutes west of Puerto Escondido, you can see it on the map. Just drive there between sunset and 9:30pm and you’ll only pay 150 pesos to have a tour.

MAGICAL!!! Tips that I think would be helpful to know: We booked a lagoon tour via WhatsApp with Restaurant La Rosa de Monterrubia, a lovely chap named Antonio. We spent a little extra on a private tour so we could go later when it was fully dark (very important - light and full moons are no bueno). Antonio gave us a price much lower than the larger group tours we were trying to book from the bigger places. We got a taxi from PE which took about 20 min each way. Arrived 8:15pm, well after sunset. It was a little spooky pulling up to the restaurant when it was dark, after all the other tourists have left. But Antonio greeted us straight away and walked us down a wooden walkway to the dock. A 20 min boat ride along the lagoon takes you to the swimming area where the luminescence is indescribable. That would’ve been more than enough value for our money. But we then cruised another 15 min or so to where the river meets the lagoon, and that is where I won’t spoil the magical display that awaits you. You CANNOT swim in this area, which has crocodiles, but if you’re lucky you’ll see their red eyes in the light and get a thrill. The stars were incredible to gaze during the serene drive back on the calmest waters you’ve ever seen (sit up front). Highly recommend!

One of the most beautifully places I've been, must to go

Nice water fall and natural springs inviting for the water. We spent half a day there, went for a little hike, jumped into the natural swimming pools and had a quick bite there. We tried also for the first time coconut with chilly, good memory… If you go for a hike make sure you bring sufficient water and sun protection. The hike goes up and down there is little shade, relatively step and it‘s helpful to wear good shoes.

Petrified waterfalls. Several of them as a matter of fact. Quite bizarre and frankly beautiful. Also some pools people frequently swim in. Not that warm. Lots of space to roam around to get different vantage points. Be careful as it can be a little slick in spots and there are few railings. Some designated trails to walk along, too. Look for the occasional agave plant. All of this nestled in a mountain range.

The vistas presented before you are truly breathtaking and a marvel to behold. Taking the time to appreciate the scenery will create lasting memories for you. Encountering one of the 2 Patricia waterfalls in the world. I highly recommend taking a tour, which offers a convenient and informative way to explore the remarkable sights. Doing so can enhance your overall experience, ensuring you don't miss any of the hidden gems. Ultimately, experiencing these views is an unforgettable experience.

I visited Monte Albán in Oaxaca and overall it was a nice experience, but there are a few things to know before going. The site was very crowded, which made it a little hard to enjoy some areas at my own pace. The water was extremely cold, and I am not sure if it was because so many people were inside, but it was not bubbly like the pictures or the name suggest. You also have to walk a bit to reach the main viewing areas, so be prepared for that. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful place to visit. The views are stunning, the water has an amazing blue color, and the landscape makes the trip worth it. If you are in Oaxaca, it is still a spot I would recommend—just go with realistic expectations.

It was pretty tough to get to by car but the view was amazing. The water was actually colder than I thought something like 19 degrees. Also hiking around the area was really cool.

It's not as spectacular as Pamukkale in Turkey, but the view is still nice. The hike is a little steep in some sections but easy to go in general.

Such a beautiful place! These natural pools are created by termal water (not hot). There is a nice walk towards the panoramic point and a walk to the actual pools. There you can swim and take pictures! The water is fresh and so good on warm days! The mud is apparently good for your skin too! Very recommended spot to visit! Entrance costs 50 pesos per person. Plenty parking spot

The most beautiful church I have ever been to. It has ancient architecture with many meticulous details. If you come here, you will be overwhelmed by the grandeur of the church. Entrance is free and the church is open almost exclusively in the evening.

I have visited churches and cathedrals all over the world and this one is up there with one of the prettiest. The architecture and detail is nothing short of spectacular. One thing to note is that there will be people in there for prayer time so use manners, remember it is a sacred building, keep quiet and respectful... Highly recommend a visit and to sit for a while and listen to the prayers. It is free entry and we couldn’t find a donation tin but one may be available.

Beautiful cathedral. You might see a wedding and one of the famous calendas here.

Beautiful inside and a great spot outside for people watching, especially on Friday and at the weekends when you are likely to catch the wedding celebrations - good fun to see!

It is not as impressive as some of the churches we saw in Mexico but still a beautiful church to visit. For some reason it is quite dark inside.

It's a beautiful church. The museum of cultures of Oaxaca is housed with the property.

Absolutely stunning! It would be so easy to spend an hour plus here absorbing all the details that make this cathedral extraordinary. The tree on the ceiling of the antechamber is amazing—don’t miss that. Loved all the beautiful chapels with their unique looks—especially the chapel of silence.

A lovely experience at the Aquarium today! It’s bigger than I expected with a lot of rooms and spaces for different species. I went on a weekday around 3pm and it was pretty empty. Lovely to walk around and learn about marine life. There’s bathrooms available and a foodcourt right outside the exit once you are done with some little stores.

The aquarium is medium-sized. All is display only. They have plenty of souvenir stores inside. They DO NOT have a dolphin show or penguin show. Some of the locals that work around the area claim that they do. So, do not be fooled.

I was visited before but now is more beautiful. Than before we love it

Acuario de Veracruz is an amazing experience! The variety of marine life is incredible, and the exhibits are both educational and visually stunning. It’s a perfect spot for families and anyone who loves sea creatures. Highly recommend visiting!

Lovey place , too many cute creatures can see just in one place. 😍 Nice environment.

Must visit place in Veracruz for all. Great aquarium with variety of sealife

Went in to get out of the heat. It was bigger than what we expected. They have a lot of interesting fish and aquatic animals. There are doing some construction so some exhibits were closed. Missing description of fish but we just used Google to look up names of fish. Exciting the aquarium is a food court.

Place used to have an amazing scenic view to get there. Unfortunately the place is now surrounded by walls, factories and just to get there is 20 min more to your tour. No signs to know more about the place and very reduced parking. Is not worth doing more than once

It is good place to visit if you go to Malecon de Veracruz, you can buy a hat ($100mx), an umbrella ($100) and glasses ($100mx) in the entrance; also you can contract a visitor guide to get a best experience(which cost is around $400MX per 6 persons). Access cost for San Juan de Ulua is $100MX.

We were not told ahead of time, but you must leave all food and drinks (other than water) in the ferry. Any candy. And the snacks and drinks purchased on the ferry as well. Unfortunately, my friend left her bag with candies just purchased and it went missing. Lots of walking involved. I suggest paying for the guided tour, very informative.

This is a great historical place to visit. It's a drive from the city so take a taxi or other transportation vehicle. Restrooms are available. Only water is allowed inside the fort not any flavored waters. Recommended to go early as it gets hot later in the day. There are guides available outside of the fort.

At least 450 years old, the existence of this fort predates the founding of Boston. The architecture corresponds to the military models of the time. It might not be as well preserved as other castle/forts in the Caribbean, but it certainly is worth your visit. I have 2 small children, and we found plenty to enjoy as a family in our 2 hour-long visit. You can hire private tour guides at the entrance, but there is also plenty of information online to inform you as you search its many nooks and crannies. It's well worth the 60 pesos entry fee.

Very interesting place. Tickets are around $85 pesos per adult. I recommend getting a tour guide (our charged $50 additional per person) to tell you the story. It is incredible how much has happened here. We took a trolley from the artisan market and paid $100 round trip per person. Everything is outside so consider sunblock, a hat and water.

Great historic fort with a lot to see. A pity that it's been allowed to degrade so much. Still, there seems to be a lot of work going into renovations of at least the core structures. Hopefully when I come back I can view this historic treasure in it's full glory. Definitely worth a visit. I would recommend the guided tour as well, there are a few English speaking guides.

The museum is beautiful, large and had great services all around. There's so much information and the exhibits are so interesting, it can be overwhelming (in a good way), it definitely warrants several visits to see it all properly. The few issues I have are: the cafeteria has no visible menu or price list and the clerk was not very helpful; also, the auditorium feels a little cramped and the sound system in it is horrible, with blown speakers, permanent hissing, crackling, the mics cut off often; the projector send to be quite old, the image quality is passable.

Huge collection of colossal heads and other pieces from the south region heading back 1500 BCE. I’m giving four stars because the cafe was closed. You definitely to go through the whole museum. Quick thing if you decide to go to the restroom before you get to a stall grab toilet paper which is located outside the stalls.

I was very warmly received and purchased general admission and the English audio self-tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the special exhibition as well as all of the amazing Olmec artifacts this museum houses. The covered terrace areas feel like little time-capsule oases. The grounds may be my new "happy place" here in Xalapa; I spent almost as much time outside enjoying all the amazing trees and flowers as I spent inside in awe and reverence of the history and culture collected here. That being said, I did notice that the museum, while they do have some areas with wheelchair ramps, is still VERY inaccessible for those with disabilities, particularly mobility issues. E.g. the restrooms are located upstairs and then there are a couple steps up to the entrance of the restroom, and the restrooms themselves were very cramped, smelly, and didn't seem well cared for. Also, as a white American visiting here, I recognize I may have had a different experience in my treatment by the staff than perhaps locals and other Mexicans may receive, which saddens me. I sincerely hope (and will try to do my part so) that more money will be allocated to maintaining this gorgeous museum that is so important to México's cultural heritage, so that it can be even more accessible and comfortable for ALL. Will definitely be coming back!

Very interesting and well put together museum. Spent a couple of hours enjoying the exhibits the building and outside amongst the plants. It's a shame that they do not have adequate air-conditioning system to preserve all of the antiquities and waste paper just to give you a receipt of payment for entry which is the size of a certificate. They could also put in a coffee and cake area as they have a lot of room at the end of the exhibition and at the entrance also. They have not thought about using the space wisely. They charge 60 pesos extra for the audio guide which has no signal when walking around the museum. Apparently it's supposed to be free on Sundays. This is not the case.

One of the most exquisite museums I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Make the effort. The collection is displayed in such a way that you can truly connect to the artifacts (no touching!) and I rarely needed my English audio guide. The weaving of indoor and out, placing the carvings into the courtyards, the length of the main corridor... even the brutalist architecture (usually not a fan, sorry) play together to keep you engaged.

This museum is truly a must see in your visit to Xalapa, let alone Mexico. The adult fee is 55 pesos ($2.86). I recommend to get an audio guide, and use the self pave option. There are pieces from 4 different cultures, covering a span of almost 2000 years. The level of detail is outstanding, and the scope of each piece is breathtaking. It will take you around 2 hours to walk down the whole down the whole collection, but them you can sit down in the gardens and enjoy a restful time aurrounding by nature. I didn't find a cafe in the premises, and instead of a gift shop they have a bookstore. A remarkable afternoon you will not regret.

Very interesting museum, with a lot of artifacts found locally. The location is way bigger than I expected, also has a very beautiful and relaxing garden. Would be better if they offered a tour guide to tell you about the history of all the finding.

All the family loved this place! So cool how close you can get to the animals 😂 so many nice places to take pics. And the restrooms are very clean. Lots of different places to eat. Highly recommend if you are visiting puebla with the kids!!

I was impressed! My first Safari in life! It was amazing to see different animals so close 🐘 Such a beautiful family experience! Highly recommend 🌟 The only problem can be lots of visitors, so 🚗 cars drive very slowly and under the sun 🌞 it can be a tricky time with kids in a car! So I would choose time to enter wisely. Maybe not weekends if you have opportunity! Area with Lions is just Breathtaking! 🧡🦁

A super cool drive thru zoo. After you drive thru all the way, there is a walking experience where u get to see even more animals and insects. Such a cool experience for the kids. The animals looked very healthy and well taken care of. Such a delightful place, will come back!

Amazing, better than expected. The animals seem to be better treated that in most zoos and this haves a nice concept that makes it different than a normal zoo. Loved the Cows with gigantic horns

Such a phenomenal experience! I 10/10 recommend if you’re visiting to make this place a stop!

Go on a Monday, bring your own car and take as much time as you need driving through to see the animals. Staff are accommodating and understanding, not strict about poking your head out of sunroofs.

Beautiful place! We came to visit with the family and we had a great time!

The Zócalo in Puebla is truly the heart of the city and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant colonial city. As one of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic plazas, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with colorful buildings and ornate facades that reflect Puebla’s rich heritage. The cathedral, with its impressive baroque design, dominates the skyline and adds to the majestic ambiance of the plaza. During the day, the Zócalo buzzes with activity—locals and tourists alike gather to relax, enjoy street performances, or sip coffee at nearby cafes. At night, the area transforms with beautifully lit buildings, creating a romantic and picturesque setting. The surrounding streets are lined with shops, markets, and restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, including Puebla’s famous mole poblano. It’s a great place to soak in the local culture, do some shopping, or simply people-watch. Overall, the Zócalo in Puebla is a vibrant, historic, and charming place that captures the essence of the city. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Puebla es a historic place and have an amazing cultural history. You can find nice place to eat and buy some gifts.

Fantastic decorations for Dia de Los Muertos all over this Zocalo. I had a great time walking around and taking photos of everything. It was super colorful, very beautiful, and so much fun to be had. The architecture is amazing and the sights and people made my heart sing.

3rd largest city in Mexico and absolutely beautiful!!! Add this to your list if you're visiting Mexico City. Make sure to go to the library and thr church in Centro. We took a tour here and it was excellent. Really enjoyed learning about tye history of the city and the architecture.

This place is amazing. I went for Día de los Muertos and it was such an impressive time there. Everything was amazing. Definitely felt safe even with so many crowds. It was awesome seeing the historic architecture and the preservation of the culture. Saw all types of people from Mexico and around the world. Definitely recommend and I will be going back again!

Alot to see and do here ! Food, stores, walking, browsing,tours, museums, people watch, ZumBa, activities.. something always happening. - Can't fly drones here without a permit

Had a wonderful walk around this area and went inside the church. So beautiful.

I’m studying to be an archaeologist and this place blew me away. Created in stages, like the Maya and other mesoamerican cultures, the pyramid was fantastic and the surrounding ruins were beautiful. There is definitely more that can be revealed. The grassy area that you walk around in was really nice.

After visiting the Cathedral on the hill, we opted to walk around the ruins of the Great Pyramid. What history and building technique. They added layers every 52 years and spans centuries. Not much left but still worth walking around.

It's a very big pyramid mostly covered in dirt. It seems the few things that were excavated were not actually part of the pyramid. The tunnels perhaps would be interesting but were closed. Poor signage resulted in us ascending 300+ steps to get to a church, but have no view of the pyramid (nice city and volcano view, however). Seems the church is the bigger spectacle here.

THE TUNNELS ARE CLOSED. YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE THE PYRAMID/TEMPLE AT ALL, SO YOU WILL SEE ALMOST NOTHING. If you are okay with that, you will pay $95 per person (it is more expensive than listed online) to only see a small amount of the top of it (the rest is underground). If it is a sunny day, you can climb one small part of the temple steps, but that's the coolest thing you'll experience here. If it's raining, that will be closed so there will be almost nothing to see. UNTIL THEY OPEN THE TUNNELS AGAIN, IF THEY EVER DO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.

Really cool to learn about the history and see the ruins. There are also great places to buy Souvenirs right by the ruins.

Pyramid of Cholula I was incredibly excited to visit the largest pyramid in the world. Knowing that it’s only a 3.5-hour flight from where I live made it even more exciting. However, I was also very disappointed by the way we were treated. I asked at the museum if it was possible to enter the underground passages of the pyramid, and the man who attended me said he didn’t know what I was talking about and told me to just go into the museum. I asked again if there was access to the tunnels, and he raised his voice, saying he didn’t know what I was talking about and that I should go see the patios instead. His attitude was rude and arrogant, so we decided to leave. The site itself is beautiful, full of history, with stories of the gods, the customs of the ancient peoples of Mexico, and also of the new religion imposed by the Spanish. I would definitely visit Cholula again, but I would keep my distance from the government staff.

The Cholula pyramid and archaeological zone was just ok. We went to Monte Alban a week prior in Oaxaca that was stunning so once we got to Cholula I didn’t feel like it was anything special. There was a huge line to get in the ruins and museums which we skipped. The tunnels under the pyramids are closed since COVID. There were also so many people packed in the main square that I really couldn’t take the pictures I wanted. We did climb to the top of the hill and go inside the church that was very pretty and had a great view of the city.

Very nice place to visit if you are not far from there. It’s botanist gardens with different style: Roman, Japanese. They host concert and wedding. They restaurant is good and staffs are very friendly.

Loooooved this place. I really like how they organised everything and how well maintained it is. We went on a weekday so the place was ours. It was a hot day but you could always find a shade to rest. It reminded me of Kew gardens because of the sectioning of the gardens instead of the plant habitats. I come from northwest Mexico so I had no idea this existed. Very proud we have something like this in Morelos.

A very beautiful and well preserved collection of botanical gardens with the most typical styles from around the world. The place is quite big and it takes from 2 to 4 hours to walk across all the gardens and visit the open spaces that the place offer. The entrance cost appear to be a little expensive but it's really worth it, it's almost like entering to an amusement park. You can pay an additional amount (50 pesos at this time) to use the internal transport which I recommend if the weather is hot or if you are visiting the place with kids or elder people. Food from the restaurants inside the park is really expensive and it's not that good, a lot of people were complaining about the taste of the dishes, beverages are not included in the buffet. For food I suggest to go to a nearby town, Tequesquitengo which is 10 minutes by car from the park where you can find much better food with much lower prices.

I'd never thought that visiting a garden would be so much fun. I had zero expectations, but walking or experiencing all the gardens was a different experience. Bring water bottles with you

Wonderful place to spend the day walking in magnificent gardens! Though a little bit expensive to get there, it was worth the trip! I will love to go back in another season of the year to enjoy the blooming of the different gardens! I even enjoy an unexpected dance show from Veracruz state. Very, very good! Bring your children! They will love discovering the different environments!

It's a stunning place. Great option to have an awesome day with friends, family, partner o even your dog. They open the place for dogs time to time. I went during Summer, it's really beautiful but it changes according to the season. They recommend you visit on November when everything is yellow and December when everything turns into red. November is full of marigolds and other day of the dead typical flowers and December is painted on res because of the poinsettias. Of course, along Spring it is a rainbow. Definitely a wondrous place, must to visit several times. Try to stay there enough time. It's really hot so you will want to have some break throughout your visit. If you don't have any healthy issue, try to visit by walking, it's worthy!

The place is nice, it is very well taken care of and you can see several plants. If you're into such well "groomed" gardens, this is the place for you. The WOW effect were the orchids and the cactuses. Easy to get to. You have to wear masks also outdoors. The buffet restaurant is nice, food is good. Drinks are not included.

This is such a beautiful ancient city. The pyramids here are different from the reast in the area, they look a bit more Asian than meso American. It's pretty big with a lot of areas to explore. Bring some water and snacks. Take your trash with you and keep this place clean and neat. I highly recommend the trip to this area.

Was a nice 2.5 hour excursion. Visited with kids, they had fun although it was humid. Bring water and hats if you come in the summer. Lots of places to sit and relax and take it all in. Would recommend coming early in the morning. We got lucky and it wasn’t too hot but it’s 11:50 now and it seems like it’s going to warm up quick.

This was a great archaelogocal sore top see. Our guide was very informative and excited to talk about the site. The ruins are in good condition and a new area was opened for viewing earlier this year. We were there in the evening on a Monday and had the place to ourselves.

Super cool place. Totaneca pyramids dedicated to the thunder god El Tajin. Worth a 1/2 day trip

Amazing site to see pyramids. The style that the "Totonacs used is completely different than anything else in Mexico. Absolutely beautiful. In the jungle, not too many people around. It is 20 pesos to park, but you do have to go through a muddy road to get to the parking, and then 90 pesos a person to enter. You also have the flying hanging dancers, but I will warn you, they charge 50 pesos to watch a 5 minute show. But it was pretty cool to watch and record on my phone.

Lovely site. Easy to access from Papantla and worth a visit. Not much information available on site though, so best to do your research ahead of time if you don't be doing a guided visit. Staying for the Voladores is an absolute must. Currently 50 pesos per person. And a beautiful sight.

Much larger than I anticipated. Take sunscreen and umbrella, you will be in direct sun. Of course you need to go through a wave of vendors before entering. Once inside, take time to learn the history and culture significance of this area.

If you can go as early as possible (opening time is 9), it will be quiet and peaceful. It'll be so early that the markets at the beginning of the route won't be open yet. The hike up is challenging so you do need a basic level of fitness but it is so worth it. The pyramid is small but don't let that put you off. It's a piece of history which is preserved and tells us more about this world and for only 100 pesos entry, it's well looked after. The most beautiful part of this is the view that you are rewarded after your hike. Highlight of my time here.

I had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write this review once I had the chance. Perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it seemed like nowhere was it mentioned that the path to this archaeological site takes approximately two hours if you’re not particularly fit. It’s genuine rough terrain—true hiking. According to my data, to reach the summit where the pyramid is located, you need to ascend about 400 meters vertically, which is roughly equivalent to climbing a 130-story building on foot. So, please keep this in mind, and most importantly, it seems that, judging by the number of people there—including small children being carried and elderly individuals—very few are actually aware of what lies ahead. Well, now you know. As for the archaeological site itself, to be honest, it’s probably not worth the climb, at least not more than once. There are a lot of people, and the charm of a secluded mountaintop spot dissipates. However, the pyramid stands right on the edge of a cliff, and behind it is a steep drop, reminiscent of the scene in the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where the bar is revealed to be an ancient temple, and vampires would toss bodies and cars down below. This could have served as a prototype for that scene in the film. You can climb onto the pyramid, by the way, but the archaeological zone itself isn’t all that impressive. I must say, the ascent was quite a surprise, and don’t forget that you also have to descend, which isn’t exactly easy either. Oh, and at the end, they’ll charge you 100 pesos for visiting the area, of course. Overall, it’s pretty cool; everyone takes photos and is happy they made it. Those still climbing can be encouraged as you descend. So, it’s alright.

Really nice place! 90% of the hike has stairs, so as long as you have average condition, you should be able to safely hike this hill. I get why, but asking you to pay $100 mxn to see something you are already seeing (the pyramid-like construction) felt like it was not worth it (not complaining about the price, it is fair)

A beautiful place to visit the egg is very pleasant and the view from the top is stunning. I would recommend anyone to go there, the hike is a bit tough but it’s worth it. Take good shoes and water

Beautiful hiking! The path to the pyramid is very demanding but the view from there is amazing. The site is not well maintained, there is no bathroom and a lot of trash. To access the site you need to pay MXN 100 and it only accept cash.

The hike is strenuous, prepare in advance. Takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole trek. You will gain almost 2000 feet (600 meters) while going up. The trek is 1.4 miles (2 kms) one way. Keep 100 pesos per person, they take the entrance ticket just before the pyramid. Overall its a very nice hike with beautiful view at the top.

Entry to the pyramid (and the beautiful view) closes at 3pm/15:00, but there are no signs to indicate that until you’ve gone all the way up. Bummer! It’s a beautiful hike otherwise, and you’ll get a good workout.

Xochimilco, located just 30-40 minutes outside of Mexico City, offers a truly authentic Mexican experience that is both vibrant and unforgettable. Known for its colorful trajineras (boats), Xochimilco is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. Once you arrive, you can rent a boat to cruise through the picturesque canals. The experience can last as long or as short as you like—just let your boat operator know. As you float along, you’ll encounter vendors selling delicious Mexican food, from tacos to tamales, and even drinks like micheladas. Live music adds to the festive atmosphere, with mariachis and other musicians serenading you from nearby boats. A few tips: Go to the bathroom before you take a boat. Be sure to bring plenty of cash, as you’ll need it to pay for the boat ride and any food or music you’d like to enjoy. The cost varies depending on the length of your ride and what you purchase, but it’s all very reasonable. Also, Ubers were easy to find both to and from Xochimilco, making it a convenient day trip from the city. Plan for at least an hour but stay as long as you like to soak in the lively energy of this unique destination. Highly recommend!

It is a great nature and cultural experience. I am not sure why people would give negative reviews. We booked a boat for 1 hour for two people and went solo for 600 pesos ($36 USD). We got to experience how some families live a simple life near a canal in Mexico. We experienced serenity of nature. While some groups were blasting music in a natural area, we chose a calm and quiet trip through nature. We got plenty of beautiful pictures of the landscape from the water. I negotiated with the boatman to show us something different and a small doll house. So he offered to go further for an additional 30 minutes for 1000 pesos ($60 USD), making our trip of 1.5 hours. The boatman took us further up the canal into smaller ones, giving us plenty of picture moments. We loved it overall. The boatman was very nice and friendly despite the language barrier as we were communicating using Google translate. The boatman was young, he didn't go to the college. I asked him how much he makes from the 600 pesos per hour boat run? He mentioned that he only receives 100 pesos for his work, while the rest goes to the administration that owns the boats and maintains it. So I gave him a tip for his hard and honest work, which made him happy. We didn't wait for any food boats or anything, as we were more interested in experiencing the nature.

It was a fun-filled hour of relaxing as we floated on our private boat. My family found the different trajinera artisans selling food, drinks, flower's, jewelry, and offering Mariachi quite charming. Especially considering when you place an order they board your boat while in motion to serve you. Despite the rumors this isn't a tourist trap. Yes it does attracts tourists, but locals also come here to host birthday parties, get married and celebrate life in general. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco give you a insight into what the area looked like in the 1500's, but if you aren't aware of the context this gem might be lost on you. This experience reminds you the entire area used to be a lake. If none of that strikes a cord with you, but you're a Frida Kahlo fan you might be interested just to see the where Frida and Diego got remarried.

Pier Fernando Celada / Embarcadero Fernando Celada is the name with more reviews. Even before you arrive at the floating gardens there will be people knocking on your Uber/taxi window trying to sell you on a tour of Xochimilco. None of them were on the side of the floating gardens, they must not be allowed to cross the street. Just walk to the boat area and ignore everyone else trying to sell to you. We went to the ticket window and were directed to a gentlemen with red hat and red shirt that briefly gave us information, asked how long of a tour we wanted, 1 hour (500 pesos), 2 hours (1000 pesos) etc. He called over one of the boat guys and that gentlemen led us down to the boat and was very nice. We didn’t have to pay anything until we got back. Along the way a boat pulled up besides us that was selling Corona for $40 pesos, delicious chicken and cheese quesadillas for $35 each, and waters for $30. Our “guide” kept pushing both boats along as they cooked the food right in front of us. My only regret was not ordering more food. The boat goes along somewhat slow, but it’s very quiet along the way with just nosies from animals and the occasional backyard stereo system. We did not have pesos after buying food, but we ended up just paying/tipping a little extra in USD for the ride and it was around 750 pesos with food for 3 people and the 1 hour tour. Pros: Food along the way, very peaceful, lots of wildlife. Cons: Very little English spoken here, they just need some sort of official information /ticket booth somewhere near to make things a little more comfortable, the water/some houses along the waterway were a little dirty.

100% a tourist trap. The sign says 2 hours for $1200 pesos. They charged us that much but then took us around for 1hour and sat near the dock for 20 minutes. Then eventually finally docked the boat after stalling. Then had the nerve to ask for a tip

It’s an experience. Fun hour to relax floating listening to music eating and drinking. You can get your own boat for $25 USD per hour. Food is cooked on another boat that comes up and hooks on. $5-10 for enchiladas or tacos.

Very different aspect in touring Mexico City. Yes, some call it a tourist trap attraction but it really isn't. It is a much calming respite from the busy life of Mexico City, be it the Historical Center or Coyoacán crowds. One doesn't need more than one hour and the different boats peddling their souvenir wares or offering Mariachi entertainment are not a nuisance at all. Please bear in mind that before the Conquista by Hernán Cortés, his troops and his Amerindian allies, the old capital of the Aztec Empire Tenochtilan was an island in the middle of a lake crisscrossed by many a water causeway. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilko can give you a very abstract idea what the place looked like prior to 1521.

It’s a small unkept ruin with a long hike uphill…the perk was the view other than that not worth it.

Get ready for a good but short hike up top. Bring mosquito repllent if you have.

Perfect for nature lovers and people looking for something different and keen on trekking or just having fun going up the pyramid. You'll need good cardio though, so take your time and enjoy your climb up.

A great place to contemplate the city from above, celebrating the spirit of the New Fire. It may need more care from local authorities, despite the fact, the Aztec building remains.

Archeological finds at the Cerro de la Estrella archeological site relate to the Teotihuacan, Toltec, Chichimeca and Culhua-Mexica cultures and range from 1500 BCE to 1521. Excavations have found the Temple of the New Fire, the Sanctuary, the Villa Estrellas, 144 caves, the remains of walls and evidence of terracing. The most important of these is the former plaza and temple of the New Fire Ceremony, which is on the top of the hill. This archeological site can be visited through a guided tour. However, early archeological remains can be found in many parts of the park, including those which have since been covered over by urban sprawl. Ceramic and stone sculpture materials were discovered in the west side of Huizachtecatl that apparently was made within the 100 to 500 years CE; these resemble other similar pieces found in Zacatenco, north of Mexico City. The constructions here were built between the year 100 and 650 AD and are located in the north side, the remains consist of foundations and walls of palaces that show Teotihuacan influence. Another area was housing zone at the middle of the hill, built during the late Classic period 600 to 900 CE. In 2003, specialists from the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia INAH worked to document petroglyphs found in various areas of the park, registering 210 in eleven groups, but they believe there are still more. Some of the petroglyphs are aligned with certain annual solar events. The most recent find was in 2006, when a pyramid base was discovered in what is called Calvary at the top of the mountain. This base dates to the Teotihuacan period, about 1300 years ago. INAH has decided not to excavate the base. The last New Fire ceremony took place in 1507. Today, the hill remains important culturally, as the scene of Iztapalapa’s annual Passion Play.

Beautiful place, ruins are well preserved

Ok

The museum was incredible - getting to first hand experience the space where Frida lived and died and and many of her beautiful works hanging throughout. My only issue was how wildly crowded it was. The tickets are sold in 15 minute intervals but unfortunately that staggering doesn’t do much - we would wait behind 10-15 people at each table to try and view the displays and read about Frida. At times there were so many people in the next room we would have to stand and wait 5-7 minutes before being able to move in, or so many people taking influencer posed photos on the stairs that you couldn’t even exit the home I’m Not sure that there’s any way to change those things but they were the only downside of an otherwise incredible experience.

I visited the Frida Kahlo Museum on Sunday, and it was such a lovely place! There’s so much interesting information about her life, beautiful art, and amazing antiques. I recommend watching the movie Frida first—it helps you understand and appreciate the museum even more. The ticket price was reasonable, but I suggest booking in advance because there was quite a long queue. It’s also best to take an Uber from your location to the museum. I absolutely loved this place! Greetings from the UK

Walking through the house where Frida Kahlo lived for 36 of her 47 years was an incredible and emotional experience. Every corner of the Blue House feels alive with her spirit — from the vibrant colors on the walls to the intimate details of her studio, bedroom, and garden. Seeing the actual objects she used, the clothes she wore, and the tools she painted with makes her story deeply personal. You can feel both her strength and vulnerability as you move through the rooms that witnessed her struggles, her creativity, and her love for Diego Rivera. It’s not just a museum — it’s a journey through her life, her art, and her resilience. A visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum is truly unforgettable and an absolute must for anyone visiting Mexico City.

This was incredible!!!!!! I didn’t get tickets before our trip so I had to do a walking tour to get an entrance ticket. The walking tour was great but wow this museum was cool. I loved that it included some of frida’s works and her real painting materials and furniture. There’s a tiny gift shop thing, which was just enough without being over the top or overly commodifying. I will remember this visit for a long, long time.

A must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. This museum has a lot of history behind it and you will get to see the place where Frida Kahlo spent her final years with all artifacts and detailed history of her. It would take 3 hours to get around. Make sure you book your tickets in advance (either directly or via tour operators) as they are quickly sold. They also have a gift shop and cookie shop inside if you wanted to refresh. Please visit if you are in CDMX.

It was a dream come true. I admire Friday Kahlo, and it's privilege to get access to the actual house she lived. The colors, easel she used, the beautiful kitchen, original paintings, her personal journals, original dress collection, everything is preserved and maintained so well. If you not watched Frida Kahlo movie just watch before entering the museum, you will relate more.

Book the tickets in advance and come on time. The exhibition is not really showing much, but it does show some spirits of Frida Kahlo. The atmosphere all around is very nice and relaxing. Take a seat in the garden and enjoy the vibes would also be a good experience.

This experience was a must on my trip to MX, however it was overwhelming to choose between vendors.. are they trustworthy? Will the service be good? Will I be comfortable? ... After reading many, many, reviews I decided to go with this company. Let me tell you that as soon as I paid, someone reached out and confirmed with me all my booking details and asked if I had any questions. Then, the day came, they picked us up exactly where they said they would be, everyone in the staff was kind and welcoming. You have opportunities to take pics and videos and it's not a "pushy" sales vibe, more of an optional vibe. The ride itself was so SMOOTH. The captain was great! Great views too! Landing was perfection and the pyramid tour was also great. All of this to say that if you have any worries (I get it!), this is the company to book with!

The hot air balloon ride with Sky Balloons Mexico was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the team made everything feel smooth, organized, and exciting. Watching the balloons inflate as the sun came up was magical—and once we were in the air, the views were breathtaking. Floating over the landscape felt peaceful and surreal, like a bucket-list moment come to life. Our pilot was friendly, skilled, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The staff as a whole were welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Sky Balloons Mexico offers an incredible hot air balloon experience—beautiful views, excellent service, and memories that last a lifetime. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Magical hot air balloon experience over Teotihuacán Sky Balloons México delivered an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, safe, and welcoming. The staff was professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. The sunrise flight over the pyramids was absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, surreal, and beautifully scenic. The pilot was skilled and gave us a smooth, comfortable ride with stunning panoramic views. We also enjoyed the post-flight breakfast and sparkling wine toast, which added a great celebratory touch to the morning. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or looking for a romantic or bucket-list adventure, Sky Balloons is a must in Mexico. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour as described. Really well organised from start to finish, no hidden charges or complications. Good communication by WhatsApp as well. Very happy, would definitely recommend!

Bad experience. We came on time. They made us wait. All other ballons were in the sky and the sunrise already passed and our balloon still didn't go up. The whole point of the advertised experience is to go up during the sunrise with all other ballons. So we didn't get to experience that. From my understanding there was a problem with the balloon which is why it was late. Regardless, it completely ruined our experience.

The best..... Absolutely sensational we booked through Viator and the process was seamless, we arrived safely on time and checked in.. offered coffee and snacks. Carlos our guide greeted us and gave us the run down, he was AWESOME and very knowledgeable about the balloon and process. He brought us to our balloon that lifted off right in front of the building and we were off . It was breathtaking. Skyteam and Carlos were awesome. Great English and personal involvement.. Carlos was on top of everything from the departure to landing... Skyteam balloon and Carlos. I trust

The experience is amazing. The place and stuff very friendly. The organization is prepared for everything, all is carefully think to have a great time. 100% recommended

A beautiful palace full of interesting art. It was free during my visit which is a nice gesture. The exhibits were cool, I won't pretend to be so interested in art. The property itself is a work of art and a great place for photographers to take some shots. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing ! The theatre tour is every 30 min. alternating between Spanish and English. It is definitely a must see and experience. We then proceeded to get a ticket for the art gallery. Being senior there was no charge. But I would’ve gladly paid. The architecture and the attention to detail. The floors, the walls, the ceilings the columns are all together. The artwork of course is “different strokes for different folks” but all in all, just amazing ! What a beautiful experience !

Really worth a visit it has 17 stunning murals by famous Mexican artists like Diego Rivera and paintings. We joined a free guided tour and the guide was great at explaining the murals(4/5) and their hidden symbolisms. I would totally recommend to join a tour as there is much that the descriptions won't be able to cover

Amazingly beautiful venue for theatre and dance. It’s a magnificent artistic building itself. We saw the ballet folklorico here while in town and bought the cheaper tickets with balcony seats up top. And it was still a great experience.

We saw the Lilia Carillo exhibition and Diego murals , took about a hour and half but we took our sweet time. Def recommend visiting. Tickets were about 5$ per adult

Art Nouveau outside and art deco inside. The palace is possible the most beautiful building in Mexico City. The best view from outside comes from the café across the street (8th floor of Sears). Nice murals inside too, including Rivera’s.

I walked in without knowing much about the history and solely depended upon the Google reviews. This was a huge mistake. I didn’t even know it has gallery rooms. It is one of those places where the reviews can be way off the mark. So I recommend reading something about this place and its events beforehand since there are no English speaking guides (unless you hire one) or plaques available. For some incorrect reviews, there are 5 pieces of Diego Rivera’s murals. Other than the destroyed Rockefeller Center reproduction, four murals of “Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana” series are here. It is not well known but you should not miss them if you are a fan. And other murals are magnificent as well. On the way up to the third floor, they drove us through the Lilia Carrillo show. I was initially vexed but it turned out as a great opportunity to see her paintings although I had no knowledge about her life and artworks. One thing that really bothered me was there were Spanish speaking guides explaining two murals. The one who guides the “Man, the Controller of the Universe” stays in front of it too long giving the audience an “unwarranted one hour lecture” while asking them foolish questions. I couldn’t get close to see the details thanks to that. I hope they shorten the time. It is a great place to visit for sure.

This is one additional beautiful part of Mexico City ! It is a MUST visit ! No 2 ways about it. There are 2 lineups at the ticket office.1 for cash and 1 for card. The card lineup was shorter so we had a two minute wait there and the lady that gave us. Our tickets took one look at us in with all our gray hair and wrinkles. Gave us a free admission for old farts. Lol. Getting an order does have its advantages. It’s a slow steady walk up a gradual incline before reaching this thing of beauty. This is where they stamp your ticket. There is only a few people ahead of us. It was around noon on a Friday afternoon. When we left, there were a lot more people, but still the line was moving fairly quickly. We spent a few hours roaming around through this magnificent structure with its beautiful displays and wonderful gardens.

This is a stunning walk through a historical building filled with beautiful artwork from a few different eras . The castle itself has a few different exhibits and the living areas of the place are staged and have explanations in Spanish and English about the use of each of space. Views from the top of the castle looking down the hill are incredible and worth the hike up.

Entrance was about 5USD. There was a lot of art, history, and scenery here. Easily spent a few hours here. The only con for those who may be older or with disabilities, you must walk uphill in order to arrive to the castle. There were a few cars that were able to enter, I assumed for drop off. I would look into this if needed.

I'm a big fan of the park surrounding the castle but found the castle itself beautiful but rigid. I had my full frame camera with me when I purchased the ticket at the ground level entrance. After walking up the hill, the xop checking tickets asked if I could remove my lens from my camera? There was a 0% chance that was happening and if this is an actual rule it should be displayed when you purchase the ticket. Everything else was without incident.

Lovely castle to walk around. It is a 5-10min walk up to the castle so bring comfortable walking shoes. The front half of the castle exhibits are only in Spanish, but the second half of the castle had translations. Lovely walk through history of Mexico and high up viewpoint of cityscape. 100 mxn entry free for foreigners, can buy them at the door.

Beautiful castle, home to more than 62 vireyes and presidents , a lot of home display pieces of art from that time and mexican history. Gorgeous gardens and balconies with incredible views of the park and Paseo de la Reforma angel statue. Entrance fee $100 pesos . Pictures allow, a bit of walk from main entrance to the castle about 10 minutes .Washroom available. Bad check by the entrance. Crowded most days.No water or food allowed inside. Mondays is closed. Definitely a place to see .Time to spend 3h plus to make the visit worth it.

An incredible space. Beautifully preserved and presented to show how life was like during those times. A fascinating presentation of history. Well worth the visit!

Museo Nacional de Antropología – CDMX 🇲🇽 ⭐ Rating: 10/10 An absolute must-visit in Mexico City — this museum is a true national treasure. 🏛️ From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by the rich history and culture of Mexico, with incredible exhibitions ranging from Mayan and Aztec civilizations to fascinating artifacts from indigenous cultures across the country. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the iconic central courtyard with the massive waterfall pillar — it’s one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The displays are beautifully curated, and you can easily spend half a day or more exploring without getting bored. 💡 Tip: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and don’t miss the Aztec Sun Stone — it’s even more impressive in person. #CDMX #MuseoDeAntropologia #MexicoCulture #MustVisit #HistoryLovers

The Building is so incredibly ugly, but the exhibition is absolutely fantastic. It’s a shame that there is not much description next to the most famous artefacts., however you can always use Claude to get an explanation of what you have just seen. Do you go to the upper floor where no one is to get some rest and sit down while you hop from civilisation to civilisation. Surprisingly, The Restaurant that is inside the Museum is not bad at all, and not even with expensive. I suggest you do take a break because there is so much to see, and it’s better still to have some energy to see them all in one day

Wow this place is massive! This is a two level, U-shaped museum offering thousands of unique historical finds from all over Mexico. They also have foreign exhibits seasonally. You start on one end, work your way through the halls, and end up at the end of the building. Plan on spending at least 2-3 hours exploring all the great things to see. There is a little park and courtyard right outside where you can grab a quick snack before going in.

We booked the "Amigo" guided tour and were helped by this awesome Leonardo dude. This is such a great experience where we learned so much about the amazing history of Mexico, about its culture and traditions, and it's definitely a blast! Would absolutely recommend this museum, this guided tour, and Leonardo the perfecto, to everyone who's interested.

Plethora of various artefacts from pre-hispanic civilazations of Mesoamerica and i guess that is what most if us come to Mexico for. You will find them here. Not sure why some descriptions are in spanish only though. Also during my visit some of the outdoor areas were closed. I've been twice here, and not sure why but there was a day with free entrance.

By far a must see while in Mexico City. It’s a vast museum, so give yourself a whole day because there are multiple buildings and floors. But we found it to be exceptional and worth it. We also took a break halfway through and enjoyed an amazing lunch at the museum restaurant. Wear your comfortable walking shoes and take as many pics as you can!

What a complex! We took the Turismo bus (yes, they are wheelchair accessible!) to it, and lo and behold we didn't need our portable ramp to get around this huge set of museums. We tried to hit all the major parts of the museum, but you really need to take more than one day to grasp the full scale of the place. And for essentially $5 US dollars per person, it's pretty much a steal! As you can see, we mostly stuck to the sections with older artifacts, basically triaging our time so we could get the most out of it. The wheelchair accessibility is pretty good, save for the back of buildings that led out into gardens and a tomb replica. As for getting something to eat, there are vendors strung along in a row right in front of the main entrance plaza, and the food is cheap and delicious. Sit and eat in the adjoining park area and enjoy dogs and children playing in the fountains. And of course, last but not least, there is a gift shop, where you can buy all sorts of books and other items to take home with you.

This place has a very similar volcanic formation to that of Devil's Tower. That said, this place is very different in climate, altitude, etc. The formations tend to go down into a small valley. There are lots of walking paths here and you need to be ok with going over a suspension bridge and up and down steps. Doing that will give you a much fuller and richer experience. I highly recommend this place!

The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla are Mexico’s version of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and Iceland’s Svartifoss—but with a hacienda, history, and a side of enchiladas. Once part of a booming silver-mining region, the prisms sit beside the grand Hacienda Santa María Regla, built in the 1700s by a mining baron who clearly liked a good view. Explorer Alexander von Humboldt visited in 1803 and made the spot world-famous. Today, you can actually stay at the old hacienda and sneak out for private access to the backside of the waterfalls—basically your own secret entrance to one of Mexico’s most photogenic hidden gems.

An amazing basaltic prisms canyon with beautiful walking path for strolling and taking pictures. Wonderful waterfall, landscape, gift shops, food and deserts. A must visit when in Huasco de Ocampo.

Amazing place! Fascinating natural formation of basaltic prisms. Entrance is 100 mxn per person which includes parking.

What a beautiful and magical place. Walked around with family and spectacular views from almost everywhere. Relaxing, peaceful and tranquil!

What a beautiful place. This is so amazing i have never seen anything like this. Beautiful walk around beautiful everything. Went closer to closing time so that was nice because there was less people. Pictures come out so nice so take many.

Beautiful and extensive place. It's worth a day's visit. Taking a boat ride around the dam is a nice experience. The extreme zip line very safe in that place with double rope harnesses. I hope soon to visit this site again

Awesome botanical garden. Biggest stained glass I have ever seen. Very clean inside. There is also a pond with koy fish. Cash only and they don’t take bigger denomination bills. They don’t have change to give you.

Beautiful location to come visit 25 pesos per person lots of different places to eat around great place to walk around

A very nice place to explore. The stained glass is spectacular.

My favorite place in town. Absolutely worth a visit every few weeks.

I like the Cosmovitral because it is very beautiful. First, it is a very big place and you can walk a lot. Secondly, it is a very peaceful place so you can relax. Next, it is in a nice location and it is easy to visit. Also, you feel relaxed because there are many plants and colors. Plus: It has a hot climate. Drink water before you go and wear comfortable clothes. Finally, going to the Cosmovitral is a good idea because you can enjoy art plus nature.

Amazing! Highly recommend. We receive a great tour and expectation of all the different stores behind each strain glass. The ground and beautiful. There are lots of opportunities for some amazing photos.

It was amazing to go to Cosmovitral (botanical garden). The garden has different parts like tropical, desert, japanese. With the colorful windows you can take amazing pictures. The 25 pesos were worth it. We went there in the late afternoon (after 4pm). We could go in directly, inside they were around 20-30 other people. The botanical garden closes at 6pm.

Beautiful waterfall with essentially no restriction on how close you can get other than your own common sense. Lots of vendors along the way, beginning with restaurants by the parking area, simple cabana type bars along part of the trail, then souvenir and clothing stalls. Two little girls came up to us and asked if we wanted to hear the story of the waterfall. We couldn't help but say yes. You'll have to go yourself and hear the legend, and don't forget to give those kids a few pesos for the story. It looked like you could also ride horses down the trail. Be prepared for rain and go carefully on the trail when wet.

It’s a good view! Enjoyed it with my friends

Beautiful place to vist. The last part of the trail is rugged and a little bit challenging to climb up and down. The Waterfall arr magnificent and if one wants you can get right under the falling water. At the moment it's free

If you are a hiker Thais place offers some interesting trails once you reach the lake, cross over the creek and you will discover a beautiful path with great views over the lake

Excellent trekking forest and natural reserve/park, the sights are gorgeous if you're the nature loving kind, you can trail down to the bottom of the falls and come as close as you like. There are decks from where you can see the falls if you don't feel like going down the rustic trail to the foot of the falls and picnic in the designated area. It's a good adventure and a good trip to take, just wear comfy shoes and clothing, fit for the walk to and from this magnificent place, definitely recommend it. Although it has areas that are a bit archaic, it's a beautiful place to visit, nothing fancy but surely beautiful falls.

Great hike. We took a four wheeler tour to this town and then hiked 15 minutes down to see the beautiful waterfall. The hike itself was moderately easy, there’s a bridge and then dirt road. Wearing walking shoes is recommended. When you get to the bottom there are plenty of rocks to climb to take a moment to yourself and breathe in the water as well as listen to it. A great way to spend your afternoon!

It's a nice place to go and enjoy a cool falls, isn't that big lbut it worth go all the way down by Walk to get some cool pictures. When you go back up to the parking lot, be ready for the irregular stairs and some bumps on the walk way. You can grab some souvenirs at the stores on the top, remember to bring good shoes for the long way walking.

Be prepared to walk a lot, so many stairs. I like this place is definitely unique, a great experience, I just feel like I didn't see anything amazing, I was expecting more. Tour guides are great, they know so much and make the tour fun and interesting. Entrance is cheap, and it is better to buy tickets online because alot of people visit this place.

At the beginning the experience was not pleasant because of the price but it was worth it! Every penny. We had a tour guide in English and our group was very small so we enjoyed it the better. I highly recommend to visit in small groups.

An exceptional, awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience. I’m so happy this place exists. A reminder of the boundless nature of human creativity.

You have to make your reservation a couple of days before you go and once you are in to have to pay for the guide. There isn’t any other option but the guide we had was wonderful I really enjoyed every bit of was she explained. The view are beautiful and everything is so vibrant.

We did the immersion tour where you arrive an hour before they open and you pay a lot more for your tour. It's definitely a great way to see the gardens because now a days you can't wander around on your own. You always have to be escorted while you're here but the tour gives you a more intimate view. It's highly recommended if a bit pricey. Yes, a visit is definitely worth it and yes, you should visit but keep an open mind. Wonderful place.

Absolutely breathtaking. Stunning buildings and the waterfall was beautiful. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Xilitla. 5/5 stars

***Amazing*** We have so much fun, this place is simply amazing. We went in March and it wasn't that hot. I saw many comments before about the heat and humidity. Neither of those were issues for us. Because of the drought that was affecting the entire world on the time of my visit, there was very little water and some pozas were completely dried. Hope that when you visit the park will have more water ... Even with lack of water, I do recommend this place. The views and drive leading up to the park were breathtaking 🤩

A fee will be collected at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. The overall view is inspirational and breathtaking. Take a hike if you have enough time. The best way to get there is to hire a taxi all the to the foot of the mountain, it will cost about 1000 pesos round trip.

The town is wonderful. Now about the hike to the mountain: the tourist entry from the town side cost 30 pesos, but they never give you any information. Like : sorry, the top is closed today. This side of the mountain is private. Yes, unlike Europe or the usa, people here in Mexico get to own mountains, lakes, rivers… all of it and then monetize it. If you want to enjoy the nature like civilized people do, you need to pay for it and then abide the stupid rules. Yes, there are plenty of those. I highly suggest you enter the mountain from the west side, from the camping grounds- it’s free and the hike is much more scenic . Good luck! 👍

If you love Hiking this is a must Do, Amazing Trail and scenic views, Friendly locals and great food.

Beautiful clean and relaxing town. Definitely will go back again

Strenuous hike, it took me about 2 hours total to climb up and back down. Beautiful view. Hot day! Be sure to bring lots of water, comfy shoes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen

Good place but too noise and dangerous during holidays when people drive razers while drink alcohol; gets very noisy

Great place, quiet and beautiful

I cannot descibe how it feels to walk along this aquaduct. Imagining water flowing to supply the city but this is not some ugly piece of utilitarian passage for water. The arches are beautiful but walk along and look at the old buildings that are an arms width away. The city has so much history and until you visit you will not be under its spell. It took awhile but with true love it grabs you when you least expect it...I miss Morela with all my heart.

Beautiful views and walking around a long block wall outside during this drive. I love it

Built in 1680 AD

You can drive or walk next to it

Ok

(Translated by Google) The aqueduct as a tourist attraction is very beautiful, being able to observe the ancient construction and engineering is comforting. Walking the streets of Morelia is actually very peaceful. I don't know how he feels now with insecurity but at least when I was there everything was fine. Obviously I took my obligatory photo of the $50 bill (Original) El acueducto como atractivo turístico es muy bellos, poder observar la construcción e ingeniería antigua es reconfortante. Caminar en las calles de Morelia en realidad es muy apacible. No sé cómo se encuentre ahora con la inseguridad pero al menos cuando estuve por ahí todo bien. Obvio tomé mi foto obligada del billete de $50

(Translated by Google) This is incredible Morelia. I hope the leaders of the state of Mexico take a trip and learn from it, bringing this culture to the table. Super-maintained streets, roads, and authorities attentive to what they should be doing. Congratulations to Michoacan and the Morelia government. (Original) Esta increíble Morelia, ojalá los gobernantes del estado de mexico se dieran una vuelta y aprendieran y trajeran esta cultura calles super cuidadas, vialidades y autoridades atentas a lo que deben estar. Felicidades a Michoacan y al gobierno de Morelia

We took a Didi to the spot tagged on Google Maps and walked back to the historic center. There are quite a few restaurants, cafes and clubs along route 200.

Beautiful landmark day or night.

Beautiful aqueduct especially at night.

In the middle of a very busy street in the middle of an equally hectic city is this astounding example of a historically significant piece of architecture and engineering. The Aqueduct of Queretaro runs a fair distance and although one could walk, bike, or drive the entire distance, it is not necessary. At the point on Google Maps where this pin is placed is a plaza with benches, some information boards, a few artistic bronze statues, and it is an excellent spot to take some photos of this engineering marvel. The fact that at the time of my visit there was a group of university grads taking photos in their grad gowns tells me this is a popular spot amongst locals for that special photo. I am really glad I came here to check out this gem and am awarding this with 5 stars.

The aqueduct stretches for a good while, over a kilometer, so your experience of it will vary depending on where you see it. To be honest, it's not that impressive. Five minutes after you get there you'll be done taking your pictures and looking for something else to do.

A highlight within queretaro, nothing special but worth visiting

Los Arcos" in Querétaro, Mexico, which is a natural monument and tourist attraction. Los Arcos is a rock formation located in the Sierra Gorda mountain range, about 22 kilometers northeast of the city of Querétaro. Los Arcos consists of seven large rock arches that span a distance of approximately 300 meters.

Historic city Center of Queretero city. History goes back to 500 years with nice buildings still showing the architectural heritage. You can find paid parking in the downtown and then a nice walk around the place is best way to explore this place. There are very nice restaurants to enjoy local cuisine.

What a fun place to be. I passed by and there was a band playing traditional music and another side a person playing piano. Such a cool spot to hang out and enjoy the outdoors…. Fun and Lively ❤️

Small, cozy plaza full of greenery and flowers and surrounded by fancy restaurants and cafés. Full of families and couples in the evening. Wonderful romantic vibe.

The ultimate Queretaro experience, walk through this beautiful plaza de armas, enjoy the views, the food, the artesanies, and its people. There are so many eateries, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, regional candy stores and more. Suggestion: try the Enchiladas Queretanas, the Huaraches, the Arrachera, and the salsas 😋👌🏼

Beautifully decorated for da holidays. Vendors, & stores selling fun & yummy stuff. One restaurant in particular we didn't like, tried it twice... Chucho el Roto has da most arrogant waiters I've ever met.

Beautiful square, very colonial European feeling. A beautiful and relaxing area to enjoy the city. There are a few restaurant around the square.
