Los Azules Waterfall
Cascada Los Azules
A waterfall and blue pools in a canyon northeast of town, reached by about 600 steps down. It is a favorite hiking spot among locals.
Cascada Los Azules lies in a canyon northeast of Tequila town. From the viewpoint, a flight of about 600 stone steps leads down to the canyon floor, where you can see the blue-green pool that the waterfall feeds into. The name comes from the color of the water. The round trip takes about two hours, and the climb back up is tiring, so wear non-slip shoes and bring water. You can reach the entrance from the town center by taxi or on horseback, and there is a nominal entrance fee. The waterfall is most spectacular in the rainy season, though the steps can be slippery. At the end of the dry season the flow may be very low.
