Description

The Minas Viejas waterfall is one of the Mexico’s best guarded secrets. Located in the Huasteca Potosina, in the state of San Luis Potosi, this incredible place offers breathtaking sceneries and amazing options for canyoning and rappelling.

In the past years the Huasteca Potosina has become a famous place for adventurers to explore in Mexico. However, unlike other places in the Huasteca, like the Tamul or Cueva de Agua waterfalls, Minas Viejas remains a secluded and fairly quiet spot. Due to its location, the access is not as simple, as it requires to hike through the jungle. Therefore it is necessary to follow and expert and certified guide.

But once you reach it, you know you arrived into paradise. After walking through a trail with some steps at the end, it is easy to see the spectacular cascade that reaches over 50 meters of height. Then, you’ll start discovering the four natural pools filled with turquoise water. Each one has its own personality. And each one varies in depth, temperature and color.

On our adventure, we’ll descend rappelling on one of the sides of Minas Viejas, into a massive and vast pool. Thereupon, and after enjoying the best views of the area, we’ll get ready for the second part of our adventure: canyoning across Cañon de Micos. Here, we’ll swim, have fun and jump on 7 different cascades with a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to explore Minas Viejas and Cañon de Micos. Let one of our certified guides show you this marvellous place in the Huasteca Potosina in Mexico.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
