Cañón Río La Venta, cascada El Aguacero

This is a group of beautiful waterfalls at the bottom of a splendid canyon with a shallow water river flowing amongst the fallen rocks. You can come in for 37 pesos and start going the 729 steps down to get to the bottom of the canyon, enjoy the sand bars, get underneath of any water drop and enjoy the manificient formations. On top of that, you can come and camp for 100 pesos, both in the parking area or down by the river; you will be in the middle of the nature most likely on you own after 6 pm, when they shut the entry booth.

Amazing place, be ready to get soaked!

Beautiful waterfall, very quiet to camp at night. Extremely busy during the day and hot in the camping area/parking lot. They advertise as if there is camping available, really it's a huge parking lot that recently burned. Awesome cave that has a couple of inflatable boats to use to explore the cave. Water is decently warm at the river, waterfalls and in the cave. Crystal clear water. There are bathrooms to use for $5 pesos. Be prepared for a long trip back up from the falls, it's a long stair climb.

Tropical paradise! It is surreal to see such a beautiful waterfall at the bottom of a canyon in the middle of nowhere. Worth walking all those stairs!

The Aguacero waterfall, just west of Ocotzocuautla, is BEAUTIFUL!! I've been twice, and it's worth doing what you have to do to get there. From Tuxtla Gutierrez, go to Ocotzocuautla and get a colectivo to the turnoff. From there, it's a 3 1/2 kilometre walk to the entrance. Then it's about 800 or so stairs down to the canyon. And then, if course, back up again, and the walk back to the highway. Also, there are taxis that will take you from Ocotzocuautla, and come get you later.
