Our adventure starts when you are picked up at the door of your hotel, so you can continue toward the Chiflón Waterfalls, where through almost 5000 feet, you'll be able to admire a series of waterfalls. You can reach the highest part of the mountain to enjoy the breeze from the Bridal Veil waterfall and its impressive drop of over 300 feet.
After this experience you continue the journey toward the Montebello Lakes National Park, visiting from 4 to 6 lakes where you can appreciate its crystalline waters ranging from pale blue through violet, emerald and turquoise. They are famous for the color of their waters which is unique due to several factors, among which include the type of soil found at the bottom, the vegetation and the refraction of light. The tour is framed by a reed valley, mountains and tropical jungle in which rich and dense flora can be seen, including several species of orchids, bromeliads, juniper trees, palomillo trees, sapodilla, cedar and mahogany, among others.
Then in the evening you will head back to your hotel.
