Texolo Waterfall
Cascada de Texolo
A waterfall in a gorge outside Xico, where dense greenery, cliffs and a suspension bridge make a fairytale scene. It was once a film location.
The Texolo Waterfall lies about 3 km south of Xico. Water drops about 25 metres from the cliff into a deep pool surrounded by dense forest, and the air is misty in the rainy season. An observation platform, a suspension bridge and stone steps lead down to the pool. Nearby are smaller falls, including Ramona Falls, and the film 'The Emerald Forest' was shot here. There is a small restaurant at the entrance, and admission costs about 20 pesos. You can reach it by taxi or on foot from Xico. The steps are slippery after rain, so watch your footing.
