[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
During the trip from S. Cristobal de las Casas to Palenque we experienced the nature of Sierra Lacandona:
green landscapes, forests and waterfalls
this is the waterfall of Agua Azul, where we had the chance for a refreshing time out!

more info:
The Cataratas de Agua Azul (Spanish for "Blue-water Falls") are found in the Mexican state of Chiapas. They are located 69 kilometers from Palenque by the road that leads towards San Cristóbal de las Casas.

This waterfall consists of many cataracts following one after another. The larger cataracts may be as high as 6 meters (20 feet) or so.
The water is as blue as it looks in the picture and has a high mineral content. Where it falls on rocks or fallen trees it encases them in a thick shell-like coating of limestone.
