SAN LUIS POTOSÍ SIGHTSEEING TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Blue pools, jungle waterfalls and a surreal garden: a 3-day circuit through the Huasteca Potosina
A guided 3-day, 2-night itinerary that pairs guided swims at Puente de Dios and El Meco with explorations of the 7 Cascadas and Edward James’ Las Pozas, plus a local beer tasting.
Blue pools, jungle waterfalls and a surreal garden: a 3-day circuit through the Huasteca Potosina.
This three-day route threads together the Huasteca’s most arresting contrasts: the crystalline Poza Azul at Puente de Dios and the open meadows and tiers of the 7 Cascadas in Tamasopo; river approaches and a boat ride to the thundering El Meco; and the otherworldly stonework of Edward James’ Las Pozas in Xilitla, capped by a regional beer tasting and hamburgers.
