Hidden, impossible to find without a guide and a fantastic view. I don’t really need to say any more about this viewpoint.
After I asked my nice Mexican boat driver how much money he had been given by the agent, he realised that I was really upset about how little money he had seen of the amount I had payed the other guy. Se we started talking and I asked him all about Chacahua. It ended in him telling me stories about Chacahua and asking me if I wanted to see a few places. So I basically coincidentally got a free tour of different things in Chacahua – bird island, mangroves and the viewpoint.

When we arrived at the viewpoint, instead of simply following my nice guide and taking exactly the same steps as he did, I stepped somewhere else and landed with my entire leg in the swamp. 😀 I was honestly lucky that I was holding my camera up and the swamp wasn’t any deeper… like my camera didn’t come to a stop far above the surface… After I was helped out and a nice lady helped me wash of the dirt off my legs and my trousers, we set off for the ascent.
Guys, I’ve rarely seen so many dry plants in one place. But well, it was dry season. Once at the top, we had to climb a ladder that honestly looked like it would collapse at any moment if I put too much weight on it – no kidding. So I really took a deep breath and then dared to make the climb… I’m still alive 😉

The view was really nice! Admittedly, the view from the viewpoint in Chacahua is better. Nevertheless, you get a wonderful overview of the large water streams and the structure of the mangroves and the area around Chacahua. Apart from that, the place is incredibly quiet and relaxed and… in the middle of nature. Really not designed for tourists, which I totally loved 😀
Go or not? Personally, I think you should do everything you can in Chacahua, but I would – if – connect the viewpoint with other stuff and not just go there and back. Try to include it in a tour like eg at the end of an excursion to Mangroves and Bird Island. Then I think it’s totally worth it.
