I don’t know what you imagine under a sight named Puente de Dios – Bridge of God -, but I’m pretty sure when I say probably not a waterfall.
Funnily it on top is even a quite small waterfall (at least compared to other waterfalls I’ve seen in Mexico), yet pretty pompous for its size. The thing gushes over an edge from under leaves and bushes into a kind of natural pool, which you can glimpse into from the side, and continues down towards a bigger river. An actually very pretty scene. There is also a kind of hole right next to the water coming from above, through which it looks like more water wants to go through at the same time than can. That also is what gives the waterfall the pompous touch.
Once you have marvelled at the waterfall and the surrounding area, you continue along wooden walkways to the river, where the background is quite honestly a green paradise with palm trees on the riverbank. Really beautiful 😊 You can also swim here wearing a safety vest. Further back, towards the green paradise, there is another waterfall where you can even stand behind the waterfall. 😀 Like you basically have to go under the thing and then there’s room to stand behind it. Meaning: an opportunity to let your inner child come out 😀 😊
Go or not? Yes, definitely. I’d honestly recommend it because the waterfalls are really beautiful, you can splash around in the water and the scenery is really pretty too.

Lively, but quiet and very pretty and cute. The streets and the centre of San Luis Potosí are not particularly large, yet very charming. Also, the areas of the centre and everything outside the centre are not really different concerning the presence of tourists, but rather by their outer appearances. Like there is a difference. You can see that they really did make an effort in the centre to make San Luis Potosí a beautiful place for visitors. This however doesn’t mean that San Luis Potosí is ugly and/or dangerous outside the centre. It just means that the centre has been made really pretty 😊
Go or not? San Luis Potosí is one of those places where you don’t have to go – simply because there are lots of cute little towns all over Mexico, most of which simply have something more to offer. But if you’re on a stopover to Ciudad Valles, as I was, I would take a stroll through San Luis Potosí.

Pretty, sweet and relaxed but lively. That’s how I would describe the cathedral and park in San Luis Potosí.
The city itself is in the north of Mexico and is one of those places where you can see very clearly that the centre has been pimped up and made pretty for tourists, but there’s not too much apart from that. Like it’s that it’s ugly, it’s just that I found absolutely nothing cool to see or do outside the centre – even in my online research. That may also be though because most tourists come to the capital San Luis Potosí because of the surrounding nature of the state of San Luis Potosí. Which was also the case for me. Like shortly after I arrived I went straight on to Ciudad Valles, because from there you can get to some nice waterfalls. And on the way from another also touristy city you often have to stop in San Luis Potosí to get to Ciudad Valles.
Yet the centre with the cathedral and the park is really beautiful and definitely worth a visit during the day and at sunset. There’s just not much else in San Luis Potosí.
Go or not? If you’re in San Luis Potosí, one hundred per cent. I mean, why would you want to miss out on the most beautiful thing about this little city? However, unless you want to take in the waterfalls on the way, I wouldn’t go to San Luis Potosí. It’s really cute, but other small cities – some of which are even smaller – simply have more to offer. Nevertheless, of course I don’t want to put anyone off 😊
