Fun things to do in Valle de Bravo: 10 fun attractions and activities

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.

A crazy-steep drive up cobbled roads and a bit of a clamber up a path gets you to the top of the Rock (La Peña), and the view is really worthwhile.

Very short hike to get to the top. Also very slippery only because it was raining so the rocks were kinda green with some type of moss and wet. Worth the hike there, when you get to the top the view is so beautiful 😍. It wasn't so busy there, but I went in the morning, only a couple of people . We got rain as we were getting down the mountain.

Decent hike from town. About 45 mins from central town to the peak. I did it in sandals. Apparently much of the contemporary surrounding developments are built on undiscovered burial and ceremonial grounds.

Easy hike. Takes about 10 minutes to climb from the parking lot to the top. Parking lot is small, recommend arriving in the morning if you are driving. Bring a hat, it's hot in May.

The climb to the top was worth the effort. Do wear proper shoes to not slip on the rocks. It has stairs carved out of the rocks to reach the top.

Nice views and some people were rappelling . 5 pesos per person to enter, 5 pesos to use the bathroom, it's possible to park on the street sometimes but they offer parking for 30 pesos. They sell snacks and slushies, an 8oz cup of slushie was 15 pesos and was very good!

Very nice, 360 views of Valle de Bravo from La Peña. Easy Hike for most people, although no accesible to those with mobility limitations. The hike takes about 10-15 min. If driving there, make sure to put Mirador de la Peña in google maps, otherwise you will wind up in a residencial area.

A MUST in Valle de Bravo. Visit this special church with the black Jesus.

A regular artistic church with a different coloured Jesus. Has sufficient parking space

Very cool church!

Amazing experience, beautifully maintained. Small inner chapels worth the time to peruse. Very prayerful atmosphere.

A great place for inner work, peaceful, beautiful gardens and chapels, could be great for a small wedding, nuns very kind.

Beautiful and a must if you are in valley. Let the locals share the story about the black Christ

Excellent vibe

It's a little Jewel of Valle

Curated so beautifully, and well-guided. Since it is COVID, you need to make a reservation. In essence, you get a private tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions. The art was marvelous. One of the biggest highlights of Mexico!

Museo de Arte Popular is a must on your next visit to Valle de Bravo. Absolutely spectacular and it is free! Mexico has amazing artists.

Fantastic place to visit. My guide was great, translated and explained everything using google translate for me. Absolutely amazing modern pieces and I learned much more about the different works because of the tour. Great place for a break from the heat too!

Incredible and free. This art is breathtaking

If you love modern art, this is the place!

(Translated by Google) Visiting the Valle de Bravo Museum of Popular Art was an incredible experience that allowed me to gain insight into Mexico's cultural and artistic riches. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a colorful and creative environment, where each piece tells a story about our traditions and the talent of the artisans. I loved appreciating the alebrijes, with their fantastic shapes and vibrant colors, as well as the textiles and ceramics, which reflect the diversity of techniques and styles from different regions of the country. The museum also offers the opportunity to see local works, which allows you to better understand the cultural identity of the State of Mexico and Valle de Bravo itself. The staff was friendly, and the guided tours helped you understand the importance of each object, its origin, and the manufacturing process.

La atención del personal fue amable y las visitas guiadas ayudan a comprender la importancia de cada objeto, su origen y el proceso de elaboración.

It has been several years since I visited the place so chances are things have changed. I can't remember the entrance fee was but it was affordable, like somewhere around 30 pesos at the time which is quite cheap considering Valle de Bravo is so expensive. The expos are really colorful and nicely laid out. The bad news is that well, the museum is really tiny. If you didn't read the text, you could just spend 5 minutes in there. I remember the place is poorly ventilated and cramped so it is little surprise why it remains closed due to the pandemic. Chances are the place will remain close until next year at the soonest.

It was closed. No specific schedule.

Minimuseo

(Translated by Google) I loved the tour that the lady gave us, the way she explained and the excitement of reliving our ancestors with their customs was incredible. Thank you for such a beautiful attention!! Without a doubt a place that I recommend visiting when you go to the valley 👌🏻♥️ (Original) Me encantó el recorrido que la señorita nos hizo, la manera de explicar y la emoción de revivir a nuestros ancestros con sus costumbres fue increíble. ¡¡Gracias por tan bella atención!! Sin duda un lugar al que recomiendo visitar cuando vayan a valle 👌🏻♥️

(Translated by Google) We couldn't take the tour; it smells too damp. We have the option to leave, but I don't understand why they have their workers in these conditions. (Original) No pudimos hacer el recorrido, huele demasiado a humedad. Nosotros tenemos la opción de retirarnos, pero no entiendo como tienen a sus trabajadores en esas condiciones

(Translated by Google) I did not know of the existence of this Museum of Archeology in Valle de Bravo 😎, but it is very well located along the coast, and close to the CFE facilities, its content is very varied and from different parts of the republic, but as far as Personally, it would be very attractive for tourists to have local archaeological pieces in existence, since it is known that if there is an archaeological zone in the center of this Magical Town, unfortunately urban growth has absorbed it and if it will ever be opened to the public or starting investigations would be urban chaos and the INAH would have to intervene. (Original) Yo no sabía de la existencia de este Museo de Arqueología en Valle de Bravo 😎, pero está muy bien ubicado por la costera, y cerca de las instalaciones de CFE, su contenido es muy variado y de diferentes partes de la república, pero en lo personal sería muy atractivo para el turista que se tuviera en existencia de piezas arqueológicas locales, ya que se sabe que si se tiene una zona arqueológica en el centro de este Pueblo Mágico, lamentablemente el crecimiento urbano lo ha absorbido y si se llegará a abrir al público o empezar con investigaciones sería un caos urbano y tendría que intervenir el INAH.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place housed in an old house very adhoc with the surroundings, however more works of art and more exhibitions are missing. (Original) Un lugar muy bonito albergado en una casa antigua muy adhoc con el entorno sin embargo faltan más obras de arte y más exposiciones

Fabulous view of the entire lake and town.

Great view of the town and lake. Not clean.

(Translated by Google) The view is incredible, but the place is very neglected and dirty, plus if you go up to where the cross is the view is obscured not only by the garbage but also by the tons of cables that are there, it could definitely be improved (Original) La vista está increíble, pero el lugar está muy descuidado y sucio, además de que si subes a dónde está la cruz la vista se ve opacada no solo por la basura si no por el montón de cables que hay allí, se podría mejorar sin duda

(Translated by Google) My opinion is that you should visit it if possible, walking from the boulevard in the lake area to the viewpoint. You will see countless styles of houses and plants. The area is quiet and a good challenge to walk and get some exercise. The place is clean, quiet, and has a good view. (Original) Mi opinión es que lo visiten si es posible caminando desde el bulevar del área del lago hasta llegar al mirador, verán infinidad de estilos de casas, plantas, es tranquila la zona y un buen reto para caminar y hacer algo de ejercicio, el lugar está limpio, tranquilo y con una buena vista.

(Translated by Google) The view is beautiful, but is a bit spoiled by a dense web of electrical cables. You'd better go and stand downstairs near the gate. (Original) Uitzicht is schitterend, maar wordt een beetje verpest door een dicht web van electrische kabels. Je kunt beter een beneden bij het hek gaan staan.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place!!! Lo único malo es la accesibilidad al sitio: calles angostas empedradas y de doble sentido. Considera llevar un carro potente o tus llantitas y transmisión van a sufrir (Original) Precioso lugar!!! Lo único malo es la accesibilidad al sitio: calles angostas empedradas y de doble sentido. Considera llevar un carro potente o tus llantitas y transmisión van a sufrir

(Translated by Google) Nice views from this viewpoint, although it is not a very large place, the important thing is the view, it is on three levels, but there is not much space to leave the car. The arrival is a 15mn walk from the central square because it is uphill, keep this in mind for elderly or disabled people. There is no entrance so it is a public place. Bring your binoculars and camera. There's just that, don't expect shops or food or drink stalls. Remember not to leave garbage in the place, let's help take care of our environment. (Original) Bonitas vistas desde este mirador, aunque no es un lugar muy grande, lo importante es la vista, está en tres niveles, pero no hay mucho espacio para dejar el auto. La llegada está a 15mn caminando desde la plaza central porque es subida téngalo en cuenta para personas de la tercera edad o con discapacidad. No hay una entrada así que es un sitio público. Lleva tu binoculares y cámara. Solo hay eso, no esperes tiendas o puestos de comida o bebida. Recuerda no dejar basura en el lugar, ayudemos a cuidar nuestro entorno.
