Welib-Ha Waterfall

Cascada Wejlib-Ha

A community-run eco-reserve in the rainforest southeast of Palenque, where a roughly 20-meter-wide waterfall drops into a swimmable emerald pool.

Wejlib-Ha (Wejlib-Ha) is run by the local Chol community. The main falls are about 20 meters wide and plunge into a large, deep, emerald pool where swimming is allowed. Nearby there are simple restaurants and changing facilities. The site is quiet and often serves as a complement to the southern waterfall circuit near Palenque. The entrance fee is about 50 pesos. It lies roughly 40 km southeast of Palenque town and must be reached by hired car or self-drive. The road is pitted, and after the rainy season the water may look murky.
