| The terrain of Los Tuxtlas looks like a crumpled sheet of paper. As a consequence, the rivers have had to accommodate with hundreds of waterfalls and rapids crisscrossing the entire Sierra. Tiny 3 foot rapids to roaring 200 foot drops are within easy reach of anywhere in the area. Various words describe a waterfall in Spanish. Big ones are usually saltos, smaller ones are cascadas and pozas actually means springs but the word is often used to denote the swimming holes formed by a small waterfalls. The Salto de Eyipantla was recently featured in the film Apocalypto and other locales like Poza Reyna have been used in many Mexican film productions. Los Tuxtlas has a distinct rainy season, and although most falls run water all year, the most impressive views are from July to December. |
