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 and he realised that I was really upset about how little of the money he had seen, we got chatting. So I asked him all about Chacahua and he gave me a little free tour with stories about the different things – 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 him, 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… it didn’t come to a stop far above the surface… After I was helped out and I was able to hose off my legs and the part of my trousers that had got dirty from a nice lady, we set off on the ascent.
Guys, I’ve rarely seen so many dry plants in one place. But well, it was also the 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 heart and 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 celebrated 😀
To go or not to go? Personally, I think you should do everything you can in Chacahua, but I wouldn’t actually go to the viewpoint on my own. Try to include it in a tour. For example, the conclusion to Mangroves and Bird Island. Then I think it’s totally worth it.
