This beautiful waterfall, surrounded by towering poplar trees, is approximately 30 meters high, where a pool of crystal-clear water in shades of blue and emerald collects its cascade. The hike is short but captivating. With the sound of the Escanela River accompanying your steps and the enormous trees providing cool shade, you'll occasionally find small pools of crystalline water.

Long drive out of Queretaro but the stops along the way made it worthwhile. Local breakfast place, scenic stops before walking to a breathtaking waterfall. The weather didn’t cooperate so this was our only nature stop. Our driver, Alaine, was able to pivot and drove us to the local towns. They were all beautiful! Lunch with a view was fantastic. Overall a great experience.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour during our trip. We joined the English tour, and it turned out that we were the only participants that day, which made it feel like a private tour. Our guide was already waiting for us outside the hotel before the tour began at 7:00 AM, which gave us a very good first impression. On the way to Sierra Gorda, we enjoyed taking photos along the scenic drive. We also stopped for breakfast at a local taco restaurant — the food was truly delicious! The overall atmosphere of the trip was relaxed and friendly. Since it was just the two of us, the schedule was very flexible, and we were able to enjoy everything at our own pace. The tour of Sierra Gorda itself was absolutely amazing. The views were stunning and definitely worth both the cost and the time. The entire tour lasted about 12 hours, and we felt it was a truly memorable experience.

We went on a one-day trip to Sierra Gorda with a wonderful guide, Alfredo, who picked us up directly from our hotel. Thanks to his knowledge and willingness to talk, we learned a lot about Querétaro and its surroundings. With a well-planned itinerary, we were able to enjoy breathtaking views, taste Mexican cuisine, connect to nature and even swim in a cave. The whole trip took 13 hours. We highly recommend it.

We paid over DKK 4,000,- for three people, a really high price also given that we did not see what is in the description. At our first stop, which was supposed to be the highlight of the tour, it was closed. Afterwards we had to visit a town where we could not find a parking lot because there was a market in the city. Subsequently we were driven out to another place, where we could not get through and see what we were going to. It should be mentioned that our driver did absolutely everything he could to find solutions, he was an extremely nice young man, which we will give our best recommendation. But we had bought a trip that did not satisfy what was in the description and what was what we wanted to experience. We have subsequently been refunded approx. kr 540,-, in total, which is all too little. We think it’s Tripadvisor that has to keep track of what they sell, it can never have anything to do with neither the driver nor the contact person in Mexico, who was also incredibly service minded. What we have at least learned is that you always have to book your trips with the locals, they know what they sell and the price is probably also half price.
Thank you for sharing your comments with us again. We are always working to improve and for this reason, the agency staff and the guide at that time informed you of the reasons for the change in the itinerary, which are beyond the control of the tour operator. As they explained to you, unfortunately the community chose that day to do maintenance at one of the points to visit. This is subject to availability and what remains to be done in these cases is to offer another point to visit and learn about and compensate for the tour. Therefore, they were taken to another nearby site to visit and unfortunately it was also closed, so they were offered a totally free tour of the city for you and your family, which was not accepted. Due to this situation that was completely out of our hands, we offered an apology directly via WhatsApp to your number and we considered giving you a partial refund of your reservation ticket, since the service was performed and therefore a partial amount was returned to you, since there were expenses, such as: private transportation for you and your family, fuel, guide fees and other entrances that were visited, this obviously generates expenses and for obvious reasons you could not be refunded 100% of your reservation for a single point that was not visited. I hope you reconsider your comments and points that you gave to the agency, since they affect our image. Regards, Vive Disfruta México

The places we visited are beautiful, the eye is pleased to see so many beautiful places. The guide was super friendly, helped us with photographs and explained a little about what we were visiting. The food was delicious. All the guides know each other and greet each other, which gives a space of tranquility and a feeling of security.

Views were astonishing, and we had an amazing time. Drive is long, but packed with scenic mountains, and our guide told interesting stories along the way. Be aware that the route may vary based on the weather - our tour skipped Cuatro Palos due to the chance of fog covering the view, which was a bit sad.
