Elegant, beautiful, impressive. That’s how I would describe Misol-Ha. In fact, my first reaction to the waterfall was a loud ‘wow’ when I saw it for the first time. A simply beautiful, impressive, elegant waterfall in the middle of the jungle. Surrounding it is an absolute paradise with everything your heart desires: a lagoon, opportunities to explore and also just to gaze around in fascination. It’s simply a real paradise with a lagoon, waterfall and cave. Mega!
The waterfall is located just outside Palenque, but is relatively easy to reach by bus or on a tour. If you take the bus, you have to walk a bit, but you also have more time and – as in my case – the waterfall almost completely to yourself 😀

I was actually there twice. Once during the rainy season and once during the dry season. I hadn’t actually planned to experience the waterfall in such different ways. I only went on one tour the first time and…. Too little time sorry. At least for me. Simply because Misol-Ha is not just a waterfall. You can climb up a rock in front of the waterfall – only the brave among you, of course 😉 – and look out into the pampas behind it, which is a really beautiful view. As is the view of the waterfall and the lagoon, of course. Apart from that, a path leads along behind the waterfall – which is cool in itself. The path then leads further on to a cave. And there’s another cute little waterfall and bats 😀 😊 However, you don’t necessarily have time for all these extra excursions if you’re there on a tour. Then it’s out of the bus, down to the waterfall, back up again, briefly to the rock and that’s it. Or alternatively into the cave or into the water. But just under time pressure. And you definitely can’t do everything. But Misol-Ha is a wonderful natural idyll that should really be savoured. So it’s really beautiful there. Really beautiful 😀

So I would advise you to take a colectivo heading in the direction of Agua Azul and get dropped off at the turn-off to Miso-Ha – it’s on the way. Then follow the road for… about 15 minutes – I think, it’s not far/long anyway – and then you’ll arrive automatically. And of course you might think ‘Isn’t that dangerous?’, but a) nothing happened to me back then and b) no local warned me that something could happen. And I was really always warned – often about things where I thought to myself ‘Well…. Maybe they’re exaggerating a bit because of my looks and stuff’ (unfortunately, girls and women are generally considered to have less guts – very exhausting). Therefore: I was always warned when I was about to get into a situation that might not be entirely safe. Mexicans are generally quite open, nice and caring and would rather warn you once more than once too little. So I think that should be fine. 😊 Nevertheless, it’s always a good idea to ask what the situation is like today.
There yes or no? Definitely. One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Mexico in my opinion.
