Cascada de Cacalotenango, Natural waterfall in Taxco de Alarcón, Mexico.
The Cacalotenango Waterfall features an 80-meter vertical drop surrounded by dense coniferous forest in the mountains of Guerrero state.
The waterfall emerged from the Plan de Campos stream, which originates at El Cedro mountain and has shaped the local landscape over centuries.
The neighboring community of Cacalotenango preserves traditional agricultural practices, including fruit tree cultivation and corn farming at 1662 meters elevation.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking the state road from Taxco to Ixcateopan de Cuauhtémoc for approximately 13 kilometers westward.
During Holy Week, the local population performs an extensive Passion play along a 500-meter route, starting from El Calvario chapel.
